Violence Against Women Act

As you may know, Congress did not extend the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) at the end of 2012. However, the Congressional failure to act only terminated appropriations under the program; the Statute creating the program is still in place and an active law. For this reason, the provisions of VAWA remain in effect. If you participate in the Project-Based Section 8 Program, be sure you continue to use the HUD Form 91066, Certification of Domestic Violence, and HUD Form 91067, VAWA Lease Addendum.
