Q: If given a HAF Grant, shouldn't any important papers be sent verifiable mail?
Where. Did the grant money go that I was told originally "was put into an account on my name and if I ever needed any of it just call and tell them and they'd cover mortgage as needed with funds in my name but they keep all interest"?!

A:
When dealing with something as significant as a HAF grant, sending important documents through verifiable mail is crucial. This ensures there’s a reliable record of delivery, giving you peace of mind and providing proof if disputes arise. If papers were not sent securely, it’s worth reaching out to the organization to confirm the status of any documentation.
As for the grant money, it’s important to request clear, detailed information about how the funds are being handled. If you were told the money was set aside in your name, ask for written proof of the account details and an explanation of how the funds are accessed or managed. Transparency is key, and you deserve to know exactly where the funds are and how they are being used on your behalf.
If something feels off or your questions remain unanswered, consider seeking help to escalate the issue. Whether it’s contacting the program administrators directly or reviewing the grant’s terms, staying proactive will ensure you are fully informed and protected. This is your financial security, and you have every right to clarity and accountability.
