How do I create an FPF profile for my position as a government official?

Add a new profile or create a new account for use in your capacity as a government official.

If you'd like to use your existing account for postings related to your government position, create a new profile on that account. To do so, log in to your account and then:

  • Click (or tap) the triple bar symbol (☰) at the top right and select "My Account."
  • On the Account page, scroll down and click the green button that says "Request Government Profile."
  • Fill in the form and click "Find my neighborhood." 
  • Under the map of your area, click "Submit."
  • Your profile will be reviewed within 48 hours and you'll receive email notification once it is approved.

If you'd like to use a separate email address for postings related to your government position, create a new account using that email address. To do so:

  • Go to https://frontporchforum.com/ and click Logout if that's an option.
  • Select "Government," fill in your address (or the address of the relevant office), follow the prompts and click "Create your Account."
  • Your profile will be reviewed within 48 hours and you'll receive email notification once it is approved.
