to apartments, or in their transition from Project Exodus to the current program executed by DHA and the state, you may contact:

Below is basic information about the program:
DHA will work with the Apartment Association of Greater Dallas (AAGD) to identify landlords willing to participate in the Interim Housing Program. DHA will maintain a roster of such landlords and
provide the information to evacuees searching for housing. Additionally, DHA will add landlords identified by evacuees to the roster. The process outlined below will be used to add new landlords to the
program. For a listing of housing providers click here. This list was updated on Dec. 9th
AAGD will forward DHA a list of landlords with available units.
Evacuees can also identify landlords with available units.
DHA will make contact with these landlords and forward a contract by mail, fax or in person.
The landlord must provide information regarding the unit size and rental rates.
The landlord must sign a contract and forward the document to DHA by mail, fax or in person.
Upon receipt of the contract, DHA will review the requested rental rates.
Upon approval of the contract, the CEO or her designee will sign the contract and forward a copy of the approved contract to the landlord.
DHA will add the apartment complex to the roster of available units.
