The intersection of the Fair Housing Act (FHA) and the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) presents one of the most complex areas of compliance for housing professionals. Both laws protect survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking, yet their requirements and enforcement mechanisms differ significantly.

This session clarifies how FHA and VAWA obligations overlap, when each law applies, and how to meet documentation and confidentiality standards under recent HUD guidance. Participants will learn how to identify the correct requirements for their property’s funding source - an area that often causes confusion - and gain practical tools for responding to survivor requests, avoiding violations, and documenting compliance.

In today’s layered housing environment, providers need a trusted partner - Balanced Housing Solutions - to help navigate these rules with confidence and compassion.
