Native households are at risk of being under counted in the 2020 Census. Alaska Natives have been under counted for decades. Many programs that benefit the Native community are funded based on census-driven data. It is vital that Native households participate in the census.

An under count of our state in 2020 means Alaska will not receive its full share of federal funding for the next 10 years. In the face of increasing state and local budget constraints, we cannot afford an under count in 2020.

The Native American or Alaska Native in the home must be listed as head of household. Failure to do so will result in less funding for your community and programs such as Head Start, WIC, TANF, and SNAP!
