The following information pertains
to:
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 FEMAs 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, working with a nationally recognized PHA, has
created a National Center, DHAP USA. It will administer
payments in some areas of the U.S.. FEMA will still
be the agency to decide who is eligible for the
program.
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
