Disaster Housing Assistance Program (DHAP)
This document provides notice that HUD and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) have executed an Interagency Agreement (IAA) establishing a pilot grant program called the Disaster Housing Assistance Program (DHAP), and that the operating requirements for the DHAP have been issued through HUD Notice. DHAP is a joint initiative undertaken by HUD and FEMA to provide monthly rent subsidies and case management services for individuals and families displaced by Hurricane Katrina or Hurricane Rita who were not receiving housing assistance from HUD prior to the disasters. The operating requirements for the DHAP are found in a HUD Notice PIH 2007, issued August 16, 2007. This notice and related program information on the DHAP is available from HUD's Web site at https://www.hud.gov. To be eligible for DHAP, a family must have been displaced by Hurricane Katrina or Hurricane Rita and consequently is either receiving or is eligible to receive housing assistance from FEMA, and FEMA has determined the family is eligible for DHAP assistance. HUD will invite public housing agencies (PHAs) that currently administer the Housing Choice Voucher (HCV) Program to administer the DHAP based on several factors such as where the DHAP eligible families are currently residing or have indicated they wish to receive DHAP assistance. Monthly rental assistance payments under the DHAP will not commence until November 1, 2007. However, PHAs that agree to administer the DHAP will begin providing pre-transitional case management services on or after September 1, 2007, for those families transitioning to the DHAP during the initial implementation phase. DHAP is a temporary assistance program and will terminate as of March 1, 2009.
Community Development Block Grant Program; Small Cities Program
This final rule amends HUD's regulations governing the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program for non-entitlement areas in the state of Hawaii, which were formerly part of the Small Cities Program. Pursuant to statutory authority, the State of Hawaii government has elected not to administer CDBG funds granted to units of general local government located in non-entitlement areas within the state. The statute provides that if Hawaii elects not to assume responsibility for this program, then the Secretary of HUD will make the CDBG grants to the units of general local government located in Hawaii's non-entitlement areas, employing the same distribution formula as was used under prior regulations. This final rule modifies HUD's regulations to clarify how the CDBG program will be implemented in the non-entitlement areas of Hawaii in light of the state's decision. HUD has also taken the opportunity afforded by this rule to update and streamline the regulations, particularly with regard to the HUD- administered Small Cities program in New York, which awarded its last competitive grant in Fiscal Year (FY) 1999. This final rule follows publication of the January 3, 2007, proposed rule and takes into consideration the public comments HUD received. After careful consideration of the issue raised by the comments, HUD has decided to adopt the proposed rule without change.
