LINC Houston is partnering with the US Census Bureau to help our neighbors be counted. The statistics generated by the census provide critical data to those allocating funds. For Harris County, census data helps determine our funding allocations for education, transportation, vital social services, healthcare, job training and more. This data also determines who will represent Harris County in Congress and the State Legislature. Thanks to a grant to United Way, LINC is able to hold training with our ministry leaders, along with town hall meetings in various communities.
