The City has received reports that someone claiming to be from the Community Development Department has called citizens and offered money after receiving a copy of their driver’s license and social security card.

This is a scam. The Community Development Department is not giving away money to individuals and will never contact anyone to ask for information unless they are already working with the person to complete their application for housing assistance.

If you have questions about the legitimacy of someone claiming to be from the Community Development Department, please hang up and call the department directly at 256-549-4532.
