Violence Against Women Act

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.
