HUD’s Office of Multifamily Housing Notice H 2017-5 provides supplemental Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) guidance to Multifamily owners and management agents. An archived series of HUD webinars provide owner and oversight perspectives.
On June 30, HUD posted Notice H 2017-05 Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) Reauthorization Act of 2013 – Additional Guidance for Multifamily Owners and Management Agents. This 44-page notice provides guidance to owners and management agents (O/As) of HUD multifamily assisted housing on the requirements of the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013: Implementation in HUD Housing Programs, Final Rule. As indicated by HUD, this notice does not encompass every aspect of the VAWA Final Rule and should be used in conjunction with the VAWA Final Rule. This notice, however, supersedes earlier Housing Notices H 2010-23 and H 2009-15.
