ACTION: Notice. SUMMARY: This document provides notice that HUD and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) have executed an Interagency Agreement under which HUD shall act as the servicing agency of DHAP-Ike commencing November 1, 2008. DHAPIke is a joint initiative undertaken by HUD and FEMA to provide monthly rental assistance, case management services, security deposit, and utility deposit assistance for certain families displaced from their homes by Hurricane Ike or Hurricane Gustav. The operating requirements for the DHAPIke are found in HUD Notice PIH 2008– 38, issued October 14, 2008. HUD Notice PIH 2008–38 and related program information on the DHAP-Ike is available on HUD’s Web site at https:// www.hud.gov/offices/pih/publications/ ike.cfm. To be eligible for DHAP-Ike, a family must have been displaced by Hurricane Ike or Hurricane Gustav, determined eligible for DHAP-Ike assistance by FEMA and referred to HUD by FEMA. Initially there are no income eligibility requirements for DHAP-Ike assistance. However, only families with housing costs that exceed 30 percent of the family’s monthly income are eligible for continued DHAP-Ike rental assistance and case management services after the earlier of July 31, 2009, or 6 months following the effective date of the Disaster Rent Subsidy Contract executed on behalf of the family. HUD will invite public housing agencies (PHAs) that currently administer DHAP to administer DHAPIke in their jurisdiction based on several factors such as where the DHAP-Ike eligible families are currently residing or have indicated they wish to receive DHAP-Ike assistance. DHAP-Ike is a temporary assistance program and will terminate with the March 2010 subsidy payment. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David A. Vargas, Associate Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public Housing and Voucher Programs, Office of Public and Indian Housing, Department of Housing and Urban Development, 451 7th Street, SW., Room 4228, E:\FR\FM\17DEN1.SGM 17DEN1
