Disaster Housing Assistance Program – New Orleans

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 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 Greater New Orleans area however, this means the Housing Authority of New Orleans is administering the program.
