Landlords that are currently
renting an apartment to a family who was previously
receiving rental-assistance payments from
FEMA (as a result of Hurricanes Katrina and
Rita).
•
Landlords that would
like to begin participation in the DHAP program
and are interested in renting an apartment
to an eligible family who was previously 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 has phased
out FEMA’s rental-assistance program and replaced
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 is administering the DHAP program locally through
the Houston Harris County Housing Authority –
which took over payment of all rental subsidies
from FEMA and its existing contractor (CLC) beginning
December 1, 2007.
As a landlord housing families previously enrolled
in the FEMA program, you are eligible to continue
receiving rental-subsidy payments under the new
DHAP program.
