Yonkers Insider: Statement from Yonkers City Council - Majority Leader - Corazon Pineda Issac, 2nd District.

Hello everyone, Participating in the census has never been easier than it is today. It can be done online or by phone in the comfort of your own home. It only takes about 10 minutes of your time. Doing so not only fulfills your civic duty, but also helps mold a better future for you and your families and our community as a whole.  As Mayor Mike Spano announced earlier today, "Yonkers stands to lose $25 million a year if we do not receive an accurate count! Simply put, if we are undercounted, we are underfunded... Yonkers’ response rate to the 2020 Census is 55.6% – below New York State, and far below Westchester County’s average." LET'S CHANGE THAT, AND MAKE SURE YONKERS IS COUNTED! Each household has the option of responding online, by mail or by phone  ● [Online] Go to my2020census.gov and use the ID that you received from the Census Bureau in the mail. If you don’t have your ID, you can still go to my2020census.gov and click “I don’t have an ID.” ● [By Phone] Call 844-330-2020 to take the Census by phone. ● [By Mail] You should have received a paper form from the Census Bureau in April. You can fill it out and return it by mail, but we highly encourage you to fill out the Census form online or by phone if you can! If residents misplaced their Census 2020 forms, they can visit www.2020Census.gov. For more information, visit www.2020Census.gov or call 1-844-330-2020. If you need help or have questions, feel free to call my office at 914-377-6312.

Best regards,
