The Washington Post mentioned The h3 Project’s efforts in working alongside members of the NoMa Business Improvement District and the office of the deputy mayor for health and human services to educate hundreds of people without housing in D.C. about how to fill out the census.
It had been six months since her last volunteer shift educating D.C. residents on the importance of filling out the 2020 Census and Arnesia Davis had yet to complete it herself.
It’s not that she didn’t want to, Davis said recently as she shaved her hair beneath the L Street Bridge in Northeast Washington. But she had sparse Internet access and felt wary of answering questions about a permanent address or phone number — neither of which she had.
So one month before the filing deadline, the D.C. resident stood beside her decorated tent uncounted.
