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.

As a Member of Congress, it is my privilege to be able to assist constituents in the following areas:

Dear Mr. Berman

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for helping me to successfully secure a loan modification allowing us to keep our home in Studio City.

Since May 2010, I have been fighting foreclosure with the bank and working for over two years to secure a loan modification which was just finalized on September 19, 2012.

By the time I contacted you and your office to help me with this loan modification problem, I had spoken to over 70 different Bank employees, written 20-plus letters, sent 20-plus bank packages- and the situation seemed hopeless.

On my behalf, Mr. Berman , you and your staff contacted the Federal agencies, Comptroller of Currency and even went directly to the bank to stop the foreclosure process.

Mr. Berman, you are truly a great congressman; you have been working tirelessly on behalf of all of us at the national, state and most importantly the local level helping individuals like me. That is the difference between an average congressman and a great Congressional representative of all of the people of our District.

Mr. Berman you have completely renewed my faith in how government should work.

Thank you for your help.
Sincerely,
Steve Levin, Studio City
