We have received a report that phone solicitors are
contacting seniors representing they are part of a new County sponsored program
to assist seniors with home repairs. The County does not currently have
such a program. If you receive marketing calls representing that a
provider is part of a government sponsored program ask for documentation
regarding the program and independently contact the public agency to verify
that in fact there is such a program. Do not use the number provided by
the marketing person. Ask for identification if a salesperson comes to
you home. Do not sign or agree to anything without verifying directly
with the government agency the nature of the program and checking the license
status of any contractor offering to provide such services with the
Contractor’s State Licensing Board.
