Through this blog, KHF will discuss issues of equity, systemic racism, health disparities and how Kansans have the opportunity to shape a more equitable and inclusive future.

Using 2020 Census data to ensure representation and a more equitable, inclusive Kansas future

Last week, initial findings from the 2020 Census were released, providing population tools to plan for future needs in Kansas and our communities. The U.S. Census Bureau data will determine how much federal funding is returned to states and local communities over the next 10 years to provide for schools, transportation, health care, libraries and other family support programs. Watch this video as CEO Teresa Miller shares her thoughts on this once-a-decade opportunity.
