Disaster Housing Assistance Program-Ike (DHAP-Ike) was created by FEMA and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to provide emergency rental assistance for families displaced by Hurricanes Ike and Gustav. FEMA determines the families that qualify for assistance.
The Housing Authority of Travis County is among a number of public housing authorities administrating the program for families that have been qualified by FEMA, to receive federal housing assistance available through May 2010.
The Housing Authority of Travis County will work with families and landlords to enter into rental assistance contracts once families have been referred by FEMA and begin case management. The Housing Authority of Travis County has contracted with Corporate Lodging Consulting (CLC) to handle rent payments to landlords for the DHAP-Ike Program.
