HUD Makes Rental Vouchers Available for 375 New Orleans Households

HUD is funding Tenant Protection Vouchers (TPV) for rent-subsidized residents displaced as a result of Hurricane Katrina from the following properties:

• Curran Place – New Orleans, LA
• Dauphine – New Orleans, LA
• Frenchman’s Wharf I – New Orleans, LA
• Frenchman’s Wharf II – New Orleans, LA
• Haydel Heights – New Orleans, LA

A TPV provides rental assistance to help families' rent decent, safe and sanitary housing in the private rental market. If you are currently receiving assistance through the Disaster Voucher Program (DVP) or Section 8 Project Based Assistance, you are still eligible for consideration of a TPV.

Displaced residents must have their occupancy status at the time of Hurricane Katrina verified and complete a family certification no later than December 31, 2008.
