The Office of the Attorney General (AGO) is pleased to announce the opportunity to renew funding for Local Consumer Programs throughout the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Funding is available under the Local Consumer Aid Fund (LCAF), created by G.L. c. 12, 11G. Subject to appropriation, the AGO intends to distribute funding to programs that will provide information and referral services to consumers, and that will attempt to resolve consumer problems through an informal process of mediation by telephone and letter writing. Pursuant to the provisions of the LCAF, sufficient programs will be funded to ensure that each municipality in the Commonwealth is covered.
