Violence Against Women Act
Violence Against Women Act
As part of our mission to provide safe, decent, and affordable housing, The Cumberland County Housing Authority is committed to implementing the Violence Against Women Act in our housing programs. The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA, 34 U.S.C. § 12471 et seq.) provides housing protections for survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and/or stalking regardless of sex, gender, or sexual orientation. Any persons with reason to believe their VAWA rights have been violated are encouraged to report the abuse to HUD’S Office of Fair Housing and Equal Opportunity. Complaints may be filed online as well as by mail, email, or telephone.
If you are a Cumberland County or Perry County resident, your reporting contact information is as follows:
Fair Housing Hub
