Disaster Housing Assistance Program

Effective September 1, 2007, the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) instituted a program known as DHAP short for Disaster Housing Assistance Program. DHAP is a HUD-FEMA pilot grant program to provide rent subsidies for non-HUD assisted families displaced by hurricane Katrina and Rita.

During the time that families are assisted under DHAP, each family is required to participate in case management services. All family members listed under an active DHAP lease are eligible for and should be provided with case management services. Compliance with case management requirements applies only to the DHAP head of household.

The objectives of these services are greater self-sufficiency and permanent housing for participating families. This will include assisting families to identify non-disaster supported housing solutions such as other affordable housing options that may be available for income eligible families.
