On Feb. 11, 2009, HUD Secretary Shaun Donovan announced that the Department will extend the Disaster Housing Assistance Program (DHAP), which had been set to expire on Feb. 28, 2009. HUD and FEMA will provide additional assistance as needed until Aug. 31, 2009, to people displaced by Hurricanes Katrina and Rita in order to give them more time to transition out of the DHAP program.
Donovan toured the Gulf Coast with Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano in early March.
