Small Rental Property Program Overview
Prior to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, many low to moderate income working families
in Louisiana lived in single-family homes, duplexes, and small multi-family buildings
that were owned and operated by small-scale rental property owners. Many of these
small rental properties were destroyed or severely damaged by the storms.
Before and After
The Small Rental Property program seeks to rebuild one- to four-unit rental properties
to address the housing needs of low to moderate income people in the most heavily
damaged areas.
The Rental Program provides financial incentives in the form of forgivable loans
to property owners to help restore their damaged units and offer them at affordable
rents.
Since 2007, the Rental Program has paid more than $350 million to assist in the
rebuilding of over 8,000 rental units.

Program.
Fair Housing / Equal Opportunity
The Small Rental Property program is a federally funded program that requires owners
who are awarded funds to comply with federal fair housing laws and non-discriminatory
practices. These laws prohibit housing discrimination on the basis of race, color,
religion, sex, disability, family status, and/or national origin. These laws also
protect people from harassment in housing and protect those who help others exercise
their freedom to choose the neighborhood where they live.
What's New in the SRPP...?
The Office of Community - Development Disaster Recovery Unit does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, religion or disability, and provides, upon request, reasonable accommodation, including auxiliary aids and services, to afford an individual with a disability an equal opportunity to participate in all services, programs and activities.
