About

Join us as we celebrate National Consumer Protection Week (NCPW)  March 2-8, 2025.  NCPW is a time when government agencies, consumer protection groups, and organizations like our Advisory Board on Consumer Protection, work together to share information about consumer and tenant rights and help people learn to spot, report, and avoid scams.
