MAYVILLE – Chautauqua County’s Office for the Aging is reminding area seniors who are facing possible tax foreclosure that assistance is available.
Office for the Aging director Mary Ann Spanos says her office is reaching out to seniors on the county tax foreclosure list to remind them of services and programs they may be eligible for that could help them save money, pay their taxes, and retain their homes.
Within the next few weeks a volunteer with the Chautauqua County Office for the Aging will call seniors on the tax foreclosure list to refer them to the NY Connects Helpline.
NY Connects, which is housed in the Office for the Aging, is a statewide, locally based point of entry system that provides one stop access to free, objective and comprehensive information and assistance on long term services and supports. NY Connects staff will look into a person’s situation and talk to them about available assistance and services to help them reduce other bills so they can pay their taxes and keep their homes.
Seniors who have a home listed in foreclosure or would like to learn more about the above programs are encouraged to call the NY Connects Helpline at 753-4582 in Mayville, 661-7582 in Jamestown, or 363-4582 in Dunkirk.
