The Manassas Park Governing Body heard from Panorama Latino, a Spanish-language show based in Manassas.
- It is offering to help with getting the word out about the upcoming 2020 Census.
- As the only local Spanish-language show in the region, Panorama Latino’s pitch says the city could use it to get the word out to the Spanish speaking community in Manassas Park.
- This would provide census takers with a more accurate accounting of the city’s Hispanic population, which historically tends to be undercounted, according to the show.
The result, says the show’s producer, would lead to receiving better federally-funded social services.
- Manassas Park received and distributed more than $675 billion to various social services and programs such as Medicaid and Medicare, SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program), Section 8 housing, according to the show’s producer.
- As of July 2018, the estimates for the Hispanic demographic in Manassas Park is at 40.1% and potentially more that may not have responded to past censuses.
While the city was interested in partnering with the show they were unconvinced of the show’s potential audience reach.
