URGENT: 5,000 Katrina survivor families may lose RENTAL ASSISTANCE‏

***** Please pass on to every Katrina survivor you know across the country *****

5,000 families who have been receiving rental assistance through FEMA are at risk of losing that help this month.
IF YOU HAVE BEEN RECEIVING RENTAL ASSISTANCE THROUGH FEMA AND HAVE NOT SIGNED UP FOR THE NEW DHAP PROGRAM UNDER HUD, YOU MUST DO IT NOW!!

HUD officials have been unable to locate about 5,000 hurricane
survivor families nationally who are eligible for continued rental
benefits under the DHAP program. About 1,000 of those families are
estimated to be in the Houston area.

If you have been receiving rent assistance under the FEMA
housing programs, you are probably qualified to continue getting
that help when the FEMA programs transfer to the HUD DHAP program on
December 1.

FEMA stopped making rent payments this month, so that
assistance has ended under the FEMA program (you may know it as the
CLC program -- Corporate Lodging Consultants has been the contractor
paying much of that rental assistance under FEMA).

If you have not yet signed up for DHAP, you must do it promptly
to make sure you do not lose that benefit when the new DHAP program
starts next month. Remind other hurricane survivor families to
register for DHAP if they have not already done so.

Here are numbers you can call to verify that you qualify for
the HUD DHAP program, and to help you sign up for the new program:

** The FEMA toll-free line at 1-800-621-3362 can tell you if
you are eligible.
