Landlords in Harris County 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 Gustav and Ike).
There are some major changes that will affect these rental-subsidy payments.
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 November 1, 2008.
As a landlord in Harris County housing families
currently enrolled in the FEMA program, you are
eligible to continue receiving rental-subsidy payments
under the new DHAP program.
