Assistance centers in Cambridge will offer aid in Spanish, Portuguese and Haitian-Creole, among other languages.
The office has also begun targeting neighborhoods with historically low response rates.
"Renters are less likely to return than homeowners. Low-income and public housing [residents] tend to have an historically lower response rate," Clinkenbeard says.
He says the district office has been recruiting applicants to serve as enumerators for several months, and is now beginning to offer training sessions.
Enumerators will begin going door to door towards the end of April, well after the April 1 deadline, and will be active through June, Clinkenbeard says.
The district office opened last September and will remain open through September of this year. Its current staff numbers about 100.
