The Homeowners Assistance Program was enacted by Congress in Section 1013 of the Demonstration Cities and Metropolitan Development Act of 1966. This law provides for assistance to eligible federal personnel, who were stationed at or near an installation scheduled for closure or realignment and who, through no fault of their own, are unable to sell their homes under reasonable terms and conditions.
Who administers HAP?
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is the executive agent with overall responsibility for administering the program. There are three Corps of Engineers HAP Centers of Expertise with designated geographic areas of program responsibility. The
Savannah District has program responsibility for all states east of the Mississippi River, the United Kingdom, and Europe.For information regarding programs outside the Savannah District jurisdiction, the District responsible for the state or area in which the installation lies should be contacted.
The following are general program eligibility requirements:
Applicants for the program must be a military member, including Coast Guard, or federal civilian or Non-Appropriated Fund employee assigned at or near the installation announced for realignment or closure. Applicants must also be the owner-occupant on the date of the announcement.
Personnel transferred or terminated within six months prior to the announcement of the realignment or closure who were owner-occupants at the time of transfer.
Civilian and military personnel on an overseas tour who transferred within 3 years prior to the announcement of the realignment or closure and who are homeowners in the area.
