Please note, OHA is not a direct service provider and does not provide individual counseling, crisis response, or legal services to individuals who have experienced domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, stalking, and/or human trafficking. For more information and to connect to a local service provider in your area, please see Help for Survivors or The Alameda County Domestic Violence Resource List.
The
Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) is a law that provides protections for
survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and/or
stalking from being discriminated against by certain housing providers because
of the abuse committed against them. Despite the name of the law, VAWA’s
protections apply regardless of sex, sexual orientation, or gender identity. You don’t have to be married to or living
with the abuser to be protected by VAWA. VAWA protections cover tenants and
assisted families, as defined under applicable program regulations. VAWA
protections also cover applicants when they are applying for admission to a
covered housing program.
