groundbreaking for the 405 freeway northbound carpool lane

Congressman Berman speaks at the groundbreaking for the 405 freeway northbound carpool lane as Los Angeles Mayor Villaraigosa and California Governor Schwarzenegger look on. The groundbreaking is the culmination of years of work by Rep. Berman, who obtained significant federal funding for this project, which is critical to relieving congestion on the 405.

How can I help?

If you are a constituent of the 28th Congressional District of California, our office can assist you with matters involving Federal agencies. We also provide for visitors to Washington, DC, and can arrange to have a flag flown for you over the U.S. Capitol building.

GovBenefits.gov

If you are in need of government assistance, but are unsure where to go for information on how to apply, Govbenefits.gov may be the answer. It reduces the amount of research needed to take advantage of government benefits programs by providing information only on those programs most likely to benefit each individual.

Constituents complete a confidential questionnaire and Govebenefits.gov matches their request with the appropriate benefit programs, and provides application information. It contains a wide variety of information on such topics as Medicaid/Medicare, small business loans, scholarships, and disaster relief, to name a few.

Contact Howard

I would love to hear from every one of my constituents. I encourage you to let me know your thoughts on national issues through the form below. Note that Congressional franking regulations forbid me from responding to comments relating to election campaigns or political events using official resources.

Due to the high volume of e-mails I receive, I strongly recommend that constituents call my office on the phone about urgent, time-sensitive casework issues with a federal agency or other constituent services. You may call my Van Nuys district office at (818) 994-7200. If you have a message or concern about a state or local issue that does not involve the federal government, you can find your other local representatives here.

Due to Congressional courtesy, I will only respond to e-mail from constituents of California's 28th Congressional District. Please enter in your zip code below to verify residence and access my e-mail contact form..
