HANO Shifts Disaster Voucher Program To Houston

The Housing Authority of New Orleans has shifted the responsibility of running the post-Katrina housing voucher program to Harris County Housing Authority here in Houston. It appears that HANO believes Houston got what it takes to do a better job:

"They've gotten this down to a science," said Dwayne Muhammad, a HANO administrator who oversees the voucher programs. "They already had an infrastructure. We didn't have the human resources to manage DHAP."

Maybe one day HANO will get it down to a science.
