Business ProfileforFoundation Repair of CA

We signed the contract with CA Foundation July 10 2023. At that time I applied for and was granted funding from the funding agency "***************", the CA Foundations recommended funding agency. Work Stated in September and 2 beams were installed under the house and all pins were replaced. We were hoping that would do the trick, unfortuantly when the house was raised another beam needed to be put in, in another part of the house. Third beam was installed in October. This lead to a fouth and final beam being installed in Feburary of 2024. Before the final beam was installed, I was asked to pay in full before the permit was applied for. I said no, that I would be happy to pay in full as soon as the final permit was approved. CA Foundations then asked if they could write me a check for $500, and I could release funding while waiting for the permit. I declined. Then CA Foundations said I should have been paying in stages. I reminded them that I was using their funding agency and that the agency does not pay draws and only pays in one lump sum at the end. CA Foundations, then said they would not apply for the permit addedment for the final stage until I paid all funds, save the $500. I replied I will happily pay all funds when the permit is finalized. I then found out that the second stage permit had not passed. I was then emailed a one page "updated" contract, that at the top said it was 18 pages. I requested the rest of the contract to read before I signed. The next business day, ** Foundations put a Mechanics lien on my house. I have been happy with the work, the funds are secured and waiting, I just want the permit approved before I release funds as per #** page 4 of our contract. Substantial completion all necessary permits and approvals....
