Violence Against Women Act. The owner must comply with the Violence Against Women Act, as amended, and HUD’s implementing regulation at 24 CFR part 5, Subpart L, and program regulations.
Violence Against Women Act. The Violence Against Women Act of 1994, as amended (VAWA), provides housing protections for victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking in many of HUD’s housing programs. HUD’s regulations implementing VAWA, as amended by the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013, are found in the applicable program regulations and 24 CFR Part 5, Subpart L, Protection for Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, or Stalking (collectively, the VAWA rule). The specific HUD programs that are subject to the VAWA housing protections are listed in the “covered housing program” definition at 24 CFR 5.2003, and as may be identified by HUD through further regulations, notices, or any other means.

It also provides that no public housing agency or owner or manager of housing assisted under a covered housing program shall coerce, intimidate, threaten, interfere with, or retaliate against any person who exercises or assists or encourages a person to exercise any rights or protections under the housing title of VAWA.
