"CHI has a contract with the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, under its
Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (“HOPWA”) program to establish, maintain, and operate
transitional housing for homeless low-income individuals and families with an AIDS diagnosis. Between
2012 and 2018, CHI received HOPWA funding to purchase and renovate two properties in Islip, New York.
Pursuant to the respective grant agreements, the properties must be used for a period of at least ten years
otherwise the grants must be repaid to HOPWA. Furthermore, if additional monies are received from
HOPWA for additional renovations to these properties, the forgiveness term of these grants can be
extended for three or ten years, depending on if such renovations are non-substantial or substantial,
respectively. One grant expired in 2023 and the remaining grant is set to expire in 2028 in the amounts of
$680,505 and $781,206, respectively. During the year ending December 31, 2023, $680,505 of grants payable
for the HOPWA project was recognized as revenue in satisfaction of the terms of the underlying debt. At
