What is the new Disaster Housing Assistance Program (DHAP)?
DHAP is a program from the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) that helps families who were in Hurricanes Katrina and Rita. The DHAP program will replace the existing FEMA rental-assistance program. If FEMA is currently paying your rent, or part of your rent, it will stop doing so. In its place, the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development will start paying your rent under the DHAP program. Please read the rest of this document for more details.
