In Phase 2, to target communities that have shown low census response rates including Hollywood/Echo Park and Central City/Koreatown, CCF granted more than $200,000 dollars in April 2010 to leading nonprofits in these communities. All of the organizations are partners with the Mayor’s Office of the 2010 Census to ensure that all Angelenos are counted.
