Homeless? You CAN Vote!
If you are homeless, you can register to vote using the location of where you sleep as your address.
You may need to go to the polling place with someone (see details below) who can confirm where you are living.When you register to vote, you must provide your current residence. This is the place where you sleep, so if you sleep in a shelter, at a friend's house, or outside somewhere, that is your voting residence.
If you sleep outside, write a description of its location on line four of your voter registration application. For example, "In the NW corner of Jefferson Park near the intersection of Winston Ave. and Smith St."

Have you Completed the 2020 Census? If Not, Do it Now!
As so much around us is rapidly changing, the census is one thing that remains the same. It is one action that we can still take to support of our communities and participate fully in our democracy.
Completing the census is about collecting the necessary information to determine funding for our community needs. Census data is used to distribute billions of dollars in funding that goes to ensure that public safety, health facilities, businesses and communities have the resources they need to take care of their communities. In these times of uncertainty and physical distancing, standing together with our communities is ever more important. Click here to be directed to the official site of the U.S. Census Bureau.
