Au Train Township Residents
The Au Train Township Board expresses our appreciation to all our township residents who are home complying with the “Stay Home, Stay Safe” Order. By doing so, it not only helps your family, but our township and surrounding townships as well.
Au Train Township will be available by phone. Please feel free to call any of the Board Members. You can find the information Here
Also, while we are all out home, now would be a good time to fill out your 2020 Census questionnaire online. You would have received your Census ID in the mail. Please visit www.my2020census.gov. It should take no longer than 10 minutes. For those residents who do not respond online, the Census Bureau will mail a paper questionnaire to your address in a few weeks.
Remember, if your college student is now at home, count your student at your house, not at college. You count the number of people who will be sleeping in your house on April 1, 2020.
How will the Census Impact our Township/Community?
Local Schools: The Census determines how money is allocated for the Head Start Program, school lunches, grants for support teachers and special education, and more. Transportation: Planning and construction for highways as well as grants for public transit systems, and more. Communities: Secures funding for hospitals, Section 8 housing, housing assistance for older adults, fire departments, wildfire assistance, and more.
All of the above federal funding is based on census data. The 2020 Census is for everyone.
Thank you all. Stay Safe, Stay In, and Send in your Census! The Au Train Township Board
