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.

As a social enterprise, HPP CARES CDE has achieved significant and wide-ranging accomplishments in recent years. Working under the National Coalition for Equities' (NCFE) umbrella, our focus has been on advocating for a strong community voice among federal and state regulators and major private sector corporations. We've dedicated ourselves to addressing public policy issues, particularly those related to wealth and income inequality impacting affordable homeownership and small business growth.

Through collaborative efforts with NCFE, HPP CARES CDE has expanded outreach initiatives, leading to increased corporate social responsibility and consumer protection awareness. Our endeavors have enabled us to engage with a broader audience, forge partnerships with numerous companies, and engage with regulators, all with the goal of supporting deserving individuals in achieving sustainable homeownership, fostering successful small businesses, protecting consumers, and empowering California communities.

At HPP CARES CDE, we are committed to championing opportunities for people of color to become integral partners in our mission to reduce income and wealth inequality, thereby contributing to the creation of stronger futures for all minority groups.
