  Welcome to DHAP Harris County. The Disaster Housing Assistance Program is a program from the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) that helps families who were in Hurricanes Katrina and Rita.

The DHAP program replaces the existing FEMA rental-assistance program. If you are displaced due to a federally declared disaster and FEMA is currently paying your rent, or part of your rent, it will stop doing so. In its place, the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development will start paying your rent under the DHAP program.

DHAP Harris County is currently enrolling displaced families affected by Hurricanes Gustav and Ike and is the program administrator for families displaced by Hurricanes Katrina/Rita.

For program participation you will need meet ALL of the following requirements:

Be assisted by FEMA
Be determined eligible by FEMA to participate in DHAP
Be transitioned by FEMA to the Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD)
Be assigned by HUD to the Harris County Housing Authority (HCHA) for DHAP administration
Be enrolled in the DHAP program with all required paper work in place by the announced cut-off date
