By doing this, the deadlines reverted back to a previous Census Bureau plan that had field operations ending Oct. 31 and the reporting of apportionment figures at the end of April next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By issuing the injunction, the judge sided with civil rights groups and local governments that had sued the U.S. Census Bureau and the U.S. Department of Commerce, arguing that minorities and others in hard-to-count communities would be missed if the counting ended in September.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Koh referred to a tweet by the Commerce Department and Census Bureau last Monday that they now were targeting Oct. 5 as the date to end the census as “a hasty and unexplained change to the Bureau’s operations that was created in 4 days.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The decision also risks further undermining trust in the Bureau and its partners, sowing more confusion, and depressing Census participation,\" Koh wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Besides deciding how many congressional seats and Electoral College votes each state gets, the census also determines how $1.5 trillion in federal spending is distributed annually.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"census-2020\" label=\"More census coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In court papers, attorneys for the federal government argued that the Commerce Department and the Census Bureau had been complying with the judge's injunction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“An agency may make a multitude of plans in light of competing obligations,\" the government attorneys said. “Preventing the very formation of such plans would necessarily embroil the Court in the supervision of how the agency goes about its day-to-day activities and how it adjusts its operations from one day to the next.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this week, Koh had told attorneys for the civil rights groups and local governments that she would be open to a contempt motion against the Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the court has the authority to find the Trump administration in contempt, the plaintiff attorneys said in a motion that they were not seeking a contempt finding at this time. Instead, they said they wanted full compliance with the judge’s order, arguing the Trump administration had violated it “several times over.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“An unrushed, full and fair count is paramount to ensuring the accuracy of the 2020 Census,\" said Melissa Sherry, one of the plaintiff attorneys. “This ruling brings us one step closer to realizing that important goal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

The homeless count was originally scheduled for late March, but was postponed because most of the country was sheltering in place to prevent the spread of the virus. Even today, six months later, the ongoing pandemic continues to create major obstacles for getting an accurate homeless count.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Soup kitchens that used to serve sit-down meals in large halls, and where enumerators came to collect information from many people, now offer grab-and-go food. And local officials have been trying to move people out of group shelters and into hotel rooms, dispersing the population and making the count more difficult.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The changes make collaboration with local partners all the more important, said Casey Farmer, Alameda County’s census outreach coordinator.

It’s safe to talk to them. And it’s your constitutional right to be counted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But between the pandemic and the region’s housing crisis, nonprofits are swamped, said Jessie Hewins, a managing attorney at Homebase, a homeless advocacy organization with a state contract to prepare for the homeless count.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was always going to be a really hard count,” Hewins said. “It’s hard to count people experiencing homelessness, and it's incredibly hard to count people during a global pandemic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, she is cautiously optimistic, she said, despite the fact that California has more than 150,000 homeless people statewide, about 35,000 of them in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One thing that’s helping: The state has spent almost $190 million on census outreach, and some local governments are supplementing that. Santa Clara County has devoted $7 million, according to Kuwada. That’s because an undercount could cost the state tens of billions of dollars in federal funding, and one or more congressional seats.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"2020-census\"]California’s investment in the count — far more than any other state —is yielding benefits, said Olson, the census official.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The result of their effort has really paid off,” he said. “You’ve got some of the highest self-response rates in the nation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The three-day homeless count comes just a week before the scheduled end of the census counting operation for the entire U.S. population and in the midst of \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/09/20/914692254/census-could-look-manipulated-if-cut-short-by-trump-officials-bureau-warned\">a legal and political battle\u003c/a> over whether the Trump administration can end the census early.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A federal judge in San Jose is due to rule shortly on whether to allow the census count to end Sept. 30 or require it to continue through Oct. 31, which was the original pandemic-adjusted plan. That ruling, however, is unlikely to have any bearing on the homeless count.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://www.oig.doc.gov/OIGPublications/OIG-20-050-M.pdf\">report\u003c/a> released Friday by the Office of Inspector General in the Department of Commerce, which oversees the Census Bureau, found that accelerating the schedule threatens the accuracy of the count.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of Wednesday, more than \u003ca href=\"https://2020census.gov/en/response-rates/nrfu.html\">95% of American households\u003c/a> had been counted, and even more in California, Olson noted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re going to have to continue working very hard to get to ‘done,’” he said. “The last 5% are the hardest … finding addresses, finding people willing to cooperate. We’re in the final stage and maybe the most challenging stage.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Homeless advocates and county officials said they are not just depending on census enumerators to complete the job. This year is the first time the census questionnaire can be filled out online, at \u003ca href=\"https://my2020census.gov/\">my2020census.gov\u003c/a>. Officials in Alameda, San Francisco and Santa Clara counties all said they planned to send out crews with computer tablets and alcohol wipes, to follow up and invite homeless people to respond for themselves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ll mobilize a small strike team familiar with these communities, to comb through and see if they've missed anyone,” said Kuwada. “It only takes 10 minutes [to fill out], but there is no next year.

But field operations shut down in the spring over concerns about COVID-19, and U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and Census Bureau Director Steven Dillingham asked Congress for an extension until April 2021 to report state population numbers to the president.

In particular, the lawmakers asked whether there were plans to hire more census enumerators to find all the people made homeless by the pandemic and whether the wildfires had affected staffing needs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Mateo Democratic Rep. Jackie Speier, who signed the letter and monitors census operations as a member of the House Oversight Committee, said an internal Census Bureau document obtained by her committee reveals that the census could be “seriously degraded in accuracy and completeness” as a result of the shortened time frame.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They are sabotaging the census, they are manipulating the census, they are politicizing the census,” Speier told KQED. “All of these things are being done by this administration for one reason and one reason only, and that is to undermine the count so that the poor are not counted, persons of color aren’t counted, and the result will have an effect on reapportionment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If segments of California’s population are missed by the census, that could also distort the way the state draws its own political district lines, said Eric McGhee, a senior fellow at the Public Policy Institute of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a benchmark that everybody turns to, and it’s treated so often as the truth,” he said. “If the truth is suddenly compromised, that’s a really bad place to be in.”[pullquote size='medium' align='right' citation='Rep.

The move comes in response to a lawsuit brought by the cities of San Jose and Los Angeles, along with other local governments, civil rights groups and Native American tribes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit asks the court to require counting operations to continue through Oct. 31, arguing that shortening the timeline will unlawfully harm the accuracy of crucial census data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If not for the pandemic, the door-to-door follow ups with households that have not yet responded to the census would have been completed by the end of July. But field operations shut down in the spring over concerns about COVID-19, and U.S. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and Census Bureau Director Steven Dillingham asked Congress for an extension until April 2021 to report state population numbers to the president. Then, on Aug. 3, they reversed themselves and said they would hold to the statutory reporting deadline of Dec. 31 deadline, and thus end the counting period by Sept. 30.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
