Explanation
VAWA housing protections (2013 reauthorization and 2022 expansion) prohibit federally-assisted housing programs from evicting or denying housing to victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Victims may also have emergency transfer rights to move to safer housing. Some Hawaii housing providers with federal funding must comply with VAWA requirements.
