The Complete Count Committees (CCC) program is key to creating awareness in communities all across the country.
• CCCs utilize local knowledge, influence, and resources to educate communities and promote the census through locally
based, targeted outreach efforts.
• CCCs provide a vehicle for coordinating and nurturing cooperative efforts between tribal, state, and local governments; communities; and the Census Bureau.
• CCCs help the Census Bureau get a complete count in 2020 through partnerships with local governments and community organizations.
Tribal, state, and local governments work together with partners to form CCCs to promote and encourage response to the 2020 Census in their communities. Community-based organizations also establish CCCs that reach out to their constituents.
A CCC is comprised of a broad spectrum of government and community leaders from education, business, healthcare, and other community organizations. These trusted voices develop and implement a 2020 Census awareness campaign based upon their knowledge of the local community to encourage a response.
