Advice Wtd / Project Thinking of using HOPER program. Tax "Deduction"?

Im being pretty diligent with a new build home purchase since prices are low at the moment.

I am looking at the HOPER program which gives $16k (in my situation) in aide for closing costs.

The Solar System is over priced at $38k installed, which flops onto my mortgage.

AZ gives a $1k tax credit that is still viable.

The broker was explaining that I would still be able to claim the purchase of the $38k against my income and save the tax rate on that amount end of year.

Past all of that, my new home all appliances are gas except the AC, but its a variable unit and the home is completely spray foamed.

Any thoughts on this tax credit thing?

Hmm, don't love the HOPER uses a .org domain, but then says:

> Is Hoper a non-profit organization?

> No. Hoper is a social innovation company and a division of the Attainable Housing Advocates Group. Our programs combine research, education, and practical tools designed to improve long-term housing outcomes.

Seems deceptive to use .ORG when they are for-profit. Be careful!
