The Housing Choice Voucher Program operates and manages an Annual Contributions Contract (ACC) to assist low-income families with rental payments through the Section 8 Program. The Department develops Section 8 service initiatives, conducts programmatic analysis, and engages in budgeting, financing, communications, and counseling functions to assist program participants. It also ensures that landlord Housing Assistance Payments are made as scheduled, performs fair market rent determinations, conducts Housing Quality Standards (HQS) inspections and re-inspections, and performs annual reviews of tenant utility allowances - making revisions and adjustments as necessary.
To be eligible a person must be in one of the following categories:
* A displaced public housing resident
* A displaced Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher participant
* A displaced person from another HUD assisted program such as Project-based Section 8
* A pre-Katrina homeless person in a HUD homeless program
HUD will provide housing assistance up to 18 months for eligible persons. HUD will also provide housing search assistance including transportation and temporary shelter while searching for housing.
Eligible persons may go to any housing authority that has a Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher Program to sign up for this assistance. The Housing Authority of New Orleans has opened an office in New Orleans to assist eligible persons who are in the New Orleans area. Eligible persons must have their FEMA registration number when applying for the assistance.

Housing Listings:
WARNING!!!
There are two lists posted on their site. The one that is a purple/blue link "DHAP Property Listings" goes to
http://www.hano.org/DHAP%20landlord%20listing.htm
is OUT OF DATE. As of January 1008, nothing on this list is new after 11/29/07. If someone notices a change, let us know. We'll be calling the group to get an update as to whether they plan to update the list and/or if they still have vouchers.
Instead:
Go to: http://www.hano.org/hcvp.htm
Look on the left, for a white link on a gray background called "Property Listings". It's a PDF document that you must download/open to view. There are listings as recent as the second week in January.
