Confidential Client Requests-Residents in Crisis

The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) is a law that protects victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking from being discriminated against by certain housing providers because of the abuse committed against them. VAWA protects survivors regardless of age, sex, gender, identity, or sexual orientation. VAWA protects victims and threatened victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking. 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.
