Your consideration of building an ADU and your willingness to
contact HPP CARES Team is truly an honor. The HPP CARES team is
committed to being transparent and upfront with all its
participants. There is a great deal of excitement surrounding the
reopening of the portal on March 1.

Unfortunately, the number of available grants is less than 150 grant
opportunities. Our current preference is not to participate in
accepting applications and gathering consumer information. This
would fuel false narratives that will leave homeowners anxiously
awaiting grants yet again for funding that is not available.
For households that applied with our agency on October 29, we will
continue to work from our current waitlist starting March 1. You are
welcome to join our
notification system
wherein we gather limited information about you, such as your name,
address, and phone number. This is so that we can contact you in the
event new funding becomes available. Please note Governor Newsom has
indicated the State of California is in a budget deficit at this
time. Until we are notified otherwise, we have chosen to pause
accepting new applications. As soon as additional funding becomes
available, we will inform you that the application acceptance
process will begin; at that point, we will request your personal
details. It is appreciated that you have taken the time to
understand why we have chosen not to fuel another wave of
frustration. If you would like to learn more about other
providers' programs, please contact them directly. However, we advise you to ask
questions prior to providing all your personal information. Are
there any ways you can help HPP CARES advocate for more funding? We
invite you to review our
petition
if it falls in line please sign it, and
let us know via email
if you are willing to participate in a call to address the
legislative body overseeing the program.
HPP CARES will continue to offer many resources to future ADU'ers -
for free while we all wait for the Governor and The State to
consider providing additional funding. Educational Webinars (HPP
