The Department of Financial Services will set
up a Mobile Command Center in Hoosick Falls to assist and provide
information to homeowners and residents who may have been impacted by
recent mortgage-related events following PFOA contamination in the local
water supply. The Mobile Command Center will be set up at HAYC3 Armory
located at 80 Church Street, Hoosick Falls today, Feb. 16, and tomorrow, Feb. 17 from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m.
“My administration is continuing to deliver on-the-ground support to the people of Hoosick Falls,” said Governor Cuomo.
“This will help ensure that homeowners and residents in the area can be
informed and utilize all options available to them. I encourage anyone
with questions to meet with trained DFS personnel this week.”
DFS staff will be available to provide
information and assist homeowners and residents with questions and
concerns relating to mortgage loans, or refinancing of loans. DFS staff
will also be available to provide information and assist homeowners and
residents with questions and concerns relating to insurance issues.
Residents of the Hoosick Falls area
community are strongly encouraged to attend if they require assistance
relating to mortgage loans, refinancing, or insurance issues.
Last
week, Governor Cuomo announced that the state has begun planning for a
possible alternate water supply in the Village of Hoosick Falls –
ensuring that the community has a new, permanent supply of clean water.
The Governor also announced that the state will purchase and install
water filtration systems for approximately 1,500 homes in the Town of
Hoosick, if a homeowner wishes to have such a system installed.
Furthermore, the state is offering free water sampling tests and free
blood testing. More information on all of those actions is available here.
