Empire campuses in Albany, Saratoga Springs, Rochester, Manhattan, and Long Island will be open to the community to complete the online questionnaire. <!--more--><br \/>\nThe census is a constitutional requirement to count every resident in the United States every 10 years. The Census Bureau expects six out of 10 households will fill out the form online, while the rest respond over the phone or by the traditional paper form. Officials said this change in process may present obstacles for residents with limited internet access or for those who are not digitally literate.<br \/>\nThe 2020 census forms the basis for reapportioning congressional seats, redistricting, and the distribution of hundreds of billions of dollars in federal funding to support housing, education, transportation, employment, health care, and other vital services. Every household in the country is expected to complete the 2020 census questionnaire by July 31.<br \/>\nTo accommodate the busy schedules of residents, SUNY Empire has expanded its standard business hours to include evenings and weekends. Hours of operation can be found at www.esc.edu\/2020Census for anyone looking to complete the questionnaire at a SUNY Empire census site.<br \/>\nIn Saratoga Springs, the office at 111 West Ave. will be open Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Thursday, April 2, 9 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.; and Saturday, April 25, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.<br \/>\nSUNY Empire\u2019s Harry Van Arsdale Jr. Center for Labor Studies, one of the nation\u2019s leading labor schools, is also working with the New York City Central Labor Council to launch the SUNY Empire Labor Counts organizing committee. Students involved with the committee will be trained to aid the Census Bureau in its efforts to count every New Yorker in the five boroughs. In addition to their regular curriculum, students will earn extra credit through this special topic course to develop a campaign strategy focused on community outreach and ways to inform the public about the importance of the census.<br \/>\n\u201cA fair and accurate 2020 Census count of every person living in New York is essential to making sure New York gets its fair share of hundreds of billions of dollars of federal aid,\u201d said SUNY Empire State College President Jim Malatras. \u201cSUNY Empire is uniquely positioned to support this critical effort by opening its doors and its computer labs to our neighbors. Our labor students are stepping up big time by developing a strategic outreach program to connect with our hard to reach communities, while gaining invaluable experience in the field. We are proud to do our part to help keep our democracy strong.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cThe 2020 Census will determine how hundreds of billions in federal funds are distributed across our nation for the next 10 years. It will impact funding for transportation, education, healthcare, community development and more,\u201d said U.S. Rep. Paul D. Tonko said. \u201cWe must all do our part to ensure our Capital Region is completely counted. My thanks to SUNY Empire for their vital role and hard work they are performing to get the job done.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cOur goal is to maximize participation in the 2020 Census by educating our community members, especially in historically hard-to-count communities, on the importance of participating in the census count. It\u2019s safe, easy and will have a substantial impact on ensuring our communities receive the funding, representation and resources they need to be successful,\u201d said Peter Gannon, president and CEO, United Way of the Greater Capital Region. \u201cWe encourage everyone to text PLEDGE to 211-211 to receive information and text reminders about the 2020 Census.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SUNY Empire State College will open computer labs at five of its campuses and learning hubs across New York state to the public to help ensure an accurate, complete count in the 2020 census\u2014the first-ever census to be conducted primarily online.
