Participatory Budgeting
Participatory Budgeting is a democratic process in which community members directly decide how to spend part of a public budget. We’re excited to start collecting your ideas for how we should invest collectively in our neighborhoods this year!
Last year’s winning projects included funding a sewing circle for survivors of domestic violence in Kensington, making a greener, safer play yard at P.S. 58, installing trash cans for cleaner streets, and a program to train Spanish-speaking teens to be educators.

2020 Census
Fill Out the 2020 Census Online
The 2020 Census went live on Thursday! We urge you to fill it out online at my2020census.gov.
What is the Census
The Census is a nationwide population count done by the Census Bureau every 10 years. This count determines how many people represent us in Congress, and how much money our communities receive for local schools, hospitals, roads, and more.
It’s Safe, Easy, and Important
Your information is safe, secure, and confidential, and cannot be shared or used against you. You will not be asked about your citizenship status. Learn more.
Shape your community's future for the next 10 years. Congressional representation and $675 billion in funding are at stake. Hear from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Lin Manuel Miranda on why the Census matters!
Take just 10 minutes to complete the 2020 Census questionnaire online, or via phone at 1-844-330-2020. Preview the questions.
Participate Online to Avoid an In-Person Visit from a Census Taker
The Census Bureau will send enumerators, or Census takers, to all households that don’t fill out the 2020 Census online, over the phone, or via paper before mid-April.
In light of COVID-19 concerns, the best way to avoid someone coming to your door is to fill out the 2020 Census now at my2020census.gov or call 1-844-330-2020.
The Census Bureau is providing phone and online support available in 12 languages. Written guides are available in 59 languages.
