Zellnor Myrie welcomes
Cuomo Census funding
By Nelson A. King
Brooklyn Sen. Zellnor Y. Myrie on
Tuesday welcomed Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s
announcement that New York State
will spend as much as $60 million to
ensure that every New Yorker is counted
in the upcoming 2020 US Census.
“After long delay and consistent calls
from hard-to-count communities, we
are pleased to see that the governor’s
office has made the census funding
available for our communities and plans
to leverage state agencies to conduct
census outreach” said Myrie, who represents
the 20th Senatorial District in
Brooklyn. “This is much needed and
overdue.
“But, as always, the devil is in the
details,” he added. “It is still unclear to
us whether historically under-counted
communities, like Brooklyn, will receive
a proportion of the funding that is commensurate
with their unique need and,
whether that funding will be dispersed
as expeditiously as possible given how
close the census is.
“We thank the community groups
who’ve been advocating for this funding
for months, and hope that as many
of them as possible will be included in
the process going forward,” the senator
continued. “This is an important step
forward, and we will continue to engage
with the governor’s office to ensure that
our community gets the resources it
needs for the census.”
Myrie, who has held numerous census
information sessions throughout
his district, noted that, in September, he
penned a joint letter to the governor’s
office with 33 Brooklyn elected officials
calling for the release of adequate census
funding to Brooklyn, where 80 percent
of residents live in what is considered to
be hard-to-count neighborhoods.
Last month, Myrie launched a census
Complete Count Committee with
Assembly Member Diana C. Richardson
and more than 20 community-based
organizations in an effort to expand
awareness and engagement in the census.
Earlier this month, Myrie called on
the governor to release the state’s census
funds without further delay.
In his announcement on Tuesday,
Cuomo said the State will leverage
resources across dozens of agencies,
public authorities, the City University of
New York (CUNY) and State University
of New York (SUNY) that regularly interact
with millions of New Yorkers.
Together, he said they will launch a
wide-reaching campaign valued at up to
$40 million from existing resources that
will inform the public about the Census
and support efforts to encourage residents
to complete the questionnaire.
Additionally, $20 million from the
Fiscal Year 2020 Budget is being made
available to support targeted efforts in
hard to reach communities, Cuomo
said.
“Counting every New Yorker in the
2020 Census is critical to ensuring
we are accurately represented in Congress
and receive the federal funding
we deserve,” he said. “While the federal
government has thrown up road block
after road block - spreading fear among
immigrant communities in the process
- in New York, we will break through and
make sure that even our most difficult
to reach communities are counted.”
