PURPOSE Every 10 years, the federal government conducts a census to count every resident in the nation-and the next decennial census begins in mid-March 202A and wraps up at the end of July 2020. A complete and accurate count of the population in Washington is essential because the collected data will determine the number of seats each state has in the US House of Representatives, and also will be used to distribute billions of dollars in federal funds to state and local communities for important health, education, housing, infrastructure, and rural assistance programs. Additionally, private and public agencies, organizations, businesses, and institutions will use census data to help determine where to build schools, roads, healthcare facilities, child care and senior centers, grocery stores, and new factories. Recognizing the need for a complete count of all Washingtonians during the 2020 Census, the Washington Legislature appropriated to OFM money and a directive that it establish with nonprofit organizations and local and tribal governments deliverable-based outreach contracts to conduct outreach and census participation campaigns through community messengers, targeted especially at historically undercounted populations. The purpose of this contract is to educate Washington residents about the 2020 census, mobilize "trusted messengers" within communities to build confidence and support broad participation in the census, support maximum self-response to the 2020 Census, and support cooperation in the Non-Response Follow-Up (NRFU) effort. 2, SCOPE OF WORK a.
