HOUSTON: DHAP voucher on the southside of Houston

DHAP Vouchers for Southern Houston - almost worthless now

Very few places are taking DHAP vouchers anymore. And darn few on the southeastern side of Houston which was the hardest hit by Hurricane Ike.

So who is getting a voucher now, over a year from the Hurricane? People who need to move from their present apartment receive a voucher if their present apartment can't be brought up to code (or it fails the DHAP inspection). The trouble is there are few places that will continue to accept the voucher in the area of town they want to live in.

So the voucher either has to go unused or the person has to move to a different part of town - most are choosing to move.
