Curran & NYS Financial Services Department to hold Mortgage Assistance Unit

Assemblyman Brian Curran (Lynbrook – 21st A.D.), along with the New York Department of Financial Services, will be hosting the Department's Mortgage Assistance Unit in the community to protect people against foreclosure and answer homeowners' questions.

The workshop will provide information on how to protect themselves against foreclosure, understanding their rights as homeowners, alternatives to foreclosure, federal and state assistance relief programs, and speak about other services.

Assemblyman Curran said that in the final 2014-15 State Budget, a lawsuit settlement between New York State and JP MorganChase allocated nearly $400 million for mortgage and foreclosure prevention assistance to New Yorkers.  Curran also noted that the funds are intended to avoid preventable foreclosures, ameliorate the effects of the foreclosure crisis, enhance law enforcement efforts to prevent and prosecute financial fraud as well as unfair or deceptive acts/practices, and to otherwise promote the interests of the investing in real eastate.
