Emergency Transfers Policy for VAWA
MCHA is concerned about the safety if its tenants and such concern extends to tenants who are victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking. In accordance with the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), MCHA allows tenants who are victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking to request an emergency transfer from the tenant’s current unit to another unit in MCHA’s portfolio of managed developments.
