SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The Disaster Information System (DIS) was used for program implementation activities related to the Disaster Housing Assistance Program (DHAP) case management services. DHAP is a Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) pilot grant program to provide temporary rental subsidies and case management for non-HUD assisted individuals and families displaced by Hurricanes Katrina or Rita. HUD was the servicing agency that administers the DHAP program for FEMA. The program ended in 2011 and none of the records are active because the information would not be eligible for existing HUD or FEMA programs and as such would no longer be needed. Records are no longer maintained by HUD and have run the record retention period. The records were wiped from the system. The electronic records were destroyed in accordance with schedule 20 of the National Archives and Records Administration General Records Schedule. System no longer exists in IAS or CSAM.
