The Professional Property Manager's Guide to the Violence Against Women Act

Understanding and implementing VAWA requirements is crucial for property managers in federally assisted housing programs.

At this time, there has been very little guidance provided as to how to meet the requirements of VAWA for LIHTC properties, and not much more for RHS properties. However, HUD has issued detailed requirements for their programs, and this Guide has been prepared primarily to assist HUD properties in complying with the requirements of VAWA.

This guide is also a valuable resource for RHS and LIHTC properties in understanding what the law requires and developing in-house policies to comply with those laws.

  • Who is protected by VAWA and under what circumstances
  • Owner-related certification and documentation requirements
  • Detailed explanation of all required notices
