Now for those on the waitlist — if you intend on paying cash and will not be pursing any loans like a 2nd or HELOC home equity line of credit loan. Please be advised that we cannot reimburse you directly a refund for predevelopment expense paid out of pocket. Therefore, you will need to determine if you want to wait or if you want to proceed. Please note that some people work out where there contractor pays some of these items upfront. If CALHFA refunds the program, you could then have your contractor invoice for the predevelopment expenses and you would be able to use the grant program as how it was intended.

For those of you obtaining or have obtained financing like a 2nd mortgage or HELOC, pay your project and all predevelopment expense as they are presented. We will reimburse the project grant funds by paying down the principle of the loan.

In either scenario, if you are submitting for the grant, the project can not be completed prior to being advised that you are an awardee.

Hopefully in the coming weeks we have favorable news regarding the grant.
