Violence Against Women Act. MANAGEMENT may not consider incidents of domestic violence, dating violence or stalking as serious or repeated violations of the lease or other “good cause” for termination of assistance, tenancy or occupancy rights of the victim of abuse. MANAGEMENT may not consider criminal activity directly relating to abuse, engaged in by a member of a tenant’s household or any guest or other person under the tenant’s control, cause for termination of assistance, tenancy, or occupancy rights if the tenant or an immediate member of the tenant’s family is the victim or threatened victim of that abuse.

Violence Against Women Act. In 2016, HUD published a Final Rule, 81 FR 80724, implementing provisions of the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) in its housing programs. The purpose of the Final Rule is to protect applicants, tenants, and program participants in certain HUD programs, including HOPWA, from being evicted, denied housing assistance, or terminated from housing assistance based on acts of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking, regardless of sex, gender, gender identity, or sexual orientation. HOPWA-assisted tenants may not be denied tenancy or occupancy rights solely due to any of the four criminal activities listed above if they were committed by a member of the household or any guest and the tenant or an affiliated individual of the tenant is the victim or threatened victim. If the perpetrator is the HOPWA-eligible member of the household, the remaining household will be allowed a grace period not to exceed one year and no less than nine months to apply for HOPWA assistance or find alternative housing. Housing assistance and supportive services will continue to be provided to remaining household members during the grace period. Grantee is required to add a VAWA Lease Addenda to any lease agreements and provide forms HUD 5380: Notice of Occupancy Rights Under the Violence Against Women Act and HUD 5382: Certification of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, or Stalking and Alternative Documentation to tenants and applicants. Grantee is also required to develop an Emergency Transfer Plan to be used for victims of any of the four criminal activities listed above. The form HUD 5381: Model Emergency Transfer Plan for Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, or Stalking may be used as a model for this Plan. STRMU and Emergency/Short-Term Facilities are exempted from VAWA requirements except that no individual may be denied assistance, have their assistance terminated, or be removed on the basis of or as a direct result of the fact that the individual is or has been a victim or survivor of domestic violence, dating violence sexual assault, or stalking.
