Disaster Housing Assistance Program (DHAP)
Disaster Housing Assistance Program (DHAP) : "On July 26, 2007, FEMA and HUD executed an Interagency Agreement (IAA) establishing the DHAP, a temporary housing rental assistance and case management program for eligible individuals and households displaced by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The program is currently being administered through HUD's existing infrastructure of Public Housing Agencies (PHAs). Local PHAs were awarded grants to provide rent subsidies to eligible individuals and households for a period not to exceed 15 months beginning December 1, 2007 and ending March 1, 2009. The designated PHAs will also provide case management services, which will include a needs assessment and individual development plan (IDP) for each family. The objective of the case management services is to promote self-sufficiency for the participating individuals and households. Ultimately, over 40,000 eligible residents displaced by the 2005 Gulf Coast hurricanes will have been provided assistance through this partnership with HUD". (FEMA, Written Statement of Carlos J.
