Explanation
VAWA provides housing protections for survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking in federally assisted housing programs. Survivors cannot be evicted or denied housing solely because they were victims. Delaware public housing authorities and Section 8 landlords must comply with VAWA protections. Delaware's DDOL enforces these provisions alongside federal agencies.
