ANC meetings are great for getting ahead of neighborhoodnews. At the ANC 1B meeting arepresentative of the National Center for Prevention of Home Improvement orHome Repair Contractor Fraud, whose site is www.ncphif.org,announced the non-profit organization is coming to DC. If I heard correctly,they’re moving into offices on the U Street corridor.
According to their website, ExecutiveDirector Phae Howard founded the organization after her grandmother wasvictimized. “I was shocked at how easy contractor fraud was. I don’t know how much money my Grandmotherlost, but I absolutely remember the pain on her face.”
I too have seen the embarrassment and financial strain ofelderly relatives who were ripped off by fraudulent contractors. Welcome to the neighborhood, NCPHIF. Now, if I could only figure out how topronounce your acronym.
Anyone who lives on the southern edge of Columbia Heightsmay want to attend ANC 1B meetings. They’re held in the second floor community room of the Reeves Center (14thand U Streets) at 7:00 p.m. on the first Thursday of every month. Their site is http://www.anc1b.org/
