We are delighted to share this new release from the Project on Government Oversight, Census Matters: How the Census Shapes Funding for Children, which found 70 census-guided programs that supported children. These programs accounted for $792.77 billion in funds disbursed to all 50 states and Washington, DC, representing 35% of the total census-guided funding in FY 2023.
We also want to share a very useful companion fact sheet from First Focus on Children, Why We Must Count All Children in 2030 which identifies the most important census guided funding streams for children
