Donations Available
Phil knows that the needs of the community continue throughout the year, yet resources are oftentimes stretched to capacity. Donations are relied upon to help meet those needs. Phil often donates funds to community organizations and events such as school auctions and scholarship programs to help defray costs associated with programs that are designed to help our fellow neighbors.  Contact Monique Wynn at (202) 724-8064 or via e-mail.

Constituent Services Snapshot
A District resident called Councilmember Mendelson’s office frustrated because, for two years, he’d been trying to get final project approval for a retaining wall on his property, and the return of his substantial construction deposit.

Our office quickly contacted the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs (DCRA) and the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) to request they research the permits associated with the property’s retaining wall, determining why final approval has been delayed and the construction deposit hadn’t been released.

After a conference call between DCRA and DDOT, it was determined that an additional adjustment application was filed and DCRA was not aware that the wall was complete.
As a result of our intervention, the constituent’s application for final approval was fast-tracked and the deposit was returned.

When dealing with District government feels like you’re banging your head against a wall, call Councilmember Mendelson’s office, we’ll help soften the blow
