COVID 19 has taught us many, very painful lessons that we do not want to repeat:
- Insufficient medical facilities and medical essential workers and products close to where we live;
- Under-resourced schools and many of our kids without basic educational equipment and supplies – wi-fi, computers/tablets, books for distance learning;
- Inadequate housing options, resulting in overcrowded conditions and lack of adequate social distancing to prevent disease spread;
- Under-resourced agencies that are challenged to quickly shift and meet increased service demands such as unemployment claims and safety net programs;
- Scores of lives lost, many of whom could have been saved.
Make sure you are counted/your voice heard so we can plan for a better future!
The probability of an undercount is very high!! Let’s not experience poor quality of life conditions that an accurate population count and funding allocation can prevent!
