Protections for Tenants
If you are receiving assistance from the Housing Authority, you may not be terminated from participation, or be evicted from your rental housing because you are or have been a victim of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking.
Also, if you or an affiliated individual of yours is or has been the victim of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking by a member of your household or any guest, you may not be denied rental assistance or occupancy rights by the Housing Authority solely on the basis of criminal activity directly relating to that domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking.
Affiliated individual means your spouse, parent, brother, sister, or child, or a person to whom you stand in the place of a parent or guardian (for example, the affiliated individual is in your care, custody, or control); or any individual, tenant, or lawful occupant living in your household.
If you believe that the Housing Authority is evicting you from public housing as a direct result of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking, you must contact the Housing Authority within fourteen (14) days of your eviction or termination notice.
Confidentiality
Given the significant safety issues faced by victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, the Housing Authority will maintain the strict confidentiality and privacy of victims who seek protections under the VAWA.
