Landlords that are currently

•
Landlords that would
like to begin participation in the DHAP program
and are interested in renting an apartment
to a family receiving rental-assistance payments
from FEMA (as a result of Hurricanes Katrina
and Rita).
There are some major changes
that will affect these rental-subsidy payments.
Most importantly, the Federal government is phasing
out FEMA’s rental-assistance program and
replacing it with a program run by the U.S. Department
of Housing & Urban Development (HUD). The
new program will be known as DHAP, short for Disaster
Housing Assistance Program.
HUD will administer the DHAP program locally through
the Harris County Housing Authority – which
will take over payment of all rental subsidies
from FEMA and its existing contractor (CLC) beginning
December 1, 2007.
As a landlord housing families currently enrolled
in the FEMA program, you are eligible to continue
receiving rental-subsidy payments under the new
DHAP program. Landlord Kit
