That’s a good question. I’ll have to clarify with the agency. They just told me that my tax professional could override 7k and that is the exact amount of fees that are not usable. Here is the description of fees from the site:
When approved, you will receive an award of $35,500. The HPP CARES and La Mesa Fund Control fee is $4,500. The $2,500 holdback is used to pay a licensed professional to get the project back on track if the homeowners choose an unethical licensed professional.
