ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - The state is sending experts to Long Island for the second time this month to assist homeowners facing foreclosures.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Tuesday that representatives of the Department of Financial Services will be available from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Wednesday at the Town of Hempstead municipal lot across from the Uniondale Library on Wednesday.

Homeowners seeking help should bring records of mortgage payments and correspondence with their lenders.

Cuomo launched the foreclosure prevention program in 2012. The outreach program has visited locations throughout the state with higher rates of foreclosure.

State representatives may help homeowners apply for mortgage modifications or assist them in communicating with their mortgage lenders.

Homeowners statewide can call the department’s foreclosure hotline at 1-800-342-3736.
