PURPOSE:
The Census Bureau’s LUCA program allows local governments an opportunity to update the Census Bureau’s Master Address File (MAF). Local governments can contribute to a more complete and accurate census for their communities by reviewing and commenting on the list of housing unit and group quarter addresses that the Census Bureau will use to deliver questionnaires within their communities.
The data collected in the 2020 Census will be used by federal, state, and local governments for funding, resource planning, and services throughout the next decade.

TOPICS COVERED:
• The purpose of LUCA and ways it can benefit your community
• How to participate in LUCA
• The LUCA schedule
• How to develop a plan for your LUCA review
• An overview of the Geographic Update Partnership Software (GUPS)

WHO SHOULD ATTEND:
Chief Elected Official/Administrator, planners, and technical/GIS staff.

SESSIONS:
Each session will be presented by a Census Bureau Geographer and is expected to last about two hours.
