About DHAP
Disaster Housing Assistance Program – Harris County

Effective September 1, 2007, the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) will begin rolling out a program known as DHAP ­ short for Disaster Housing Assistance Program.

The DHAP program will replace the existing FEMA rental-subsidy program, which currently assists approximately 40,000 families affected by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita ­ about 8,000 of which reside in Harris County.

The DHAP program is the result of an interagency agreement between HUD and FEMA. It is designed to move families currently receiving rental-assistance toward self sufficiency.

HUD will administer the program at the local level through its extensive network of public housing agencies. Here in Harris County, this means the Harris County Housing Authority ­ which will take over payment of all rental subsidies from FEMA and its existing contractor (CLC).
