The U.S. Census Bureau is reminding everyone to turn in their Census forms by April 1^st, 2010. The Bureau will visit unresponsive households starting May 1^st. The agency plans to rally one million volunteers through its partner organizations to promote March to the Mailbox (M2M), a final effort to boost mail-back rates. OCA thanks all those who have filled and mailed back their Census forms!

• Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano told lawmakers that the department is “committed to working with the Census Bureau” and will not interfere with the census. The Secretary assured legislators that personal census responses will NOT be shared with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and “will not be used for immigration enforcement purposes”.    
• The Census Bureau opened 30,000 Questionnaire Assistance Centers (QAC) and an additional 10,000 Be Counted sites. The QACs and Be Counted sites are offered in six different languages. For more information about the QACs and Be Counted sites please click here. Click on "Help Centers" and enter a ZIP code, city, or state to pull up an interactive map and sites nearest you.
