Description
FAQ's

Is Your VAWA Emergency Transfer Plan Ready for Review?

Survivors deserve more than shelter—they deserve safety, dignity, and support. Under HUD’s VAWA regulations, Emergency Transfer Plans (ETPs) aren’t optional—they’re essential. Join in for a focused webinar designed to help HUD Multifamily housing providers review and strengthen their Emergency Transfer Plans. We’ll walk through the key components of VAWA compliance, discuss best practices for implementation, and ensure your policies are survivor-centered and audit-ready.

Why You Should Attend

If you manage or operate a HUD Multifamily property, attending this training is essential to ensure your Emergency Transfer Plan (ETP) is fully compliant with the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). HUD requires all covered properties to implement and maintain a current ETP, and with the release of updated forms in 2025, now is the time to make sure your policies, documentation, and staff procedures are aligned. This training will help you avoid common MOR findings, understand how to respond to transfer requests properly, and navigate the gray areas—like external transfers and self-certification—while keeping survivor safety and confidentiality at the forefront. You’ll leave with clear guidance, audit-ready practices, and the tools to support your residents with compassion and compliance.
