(c) Covered housing providers must develop and implement an emergency transfer plan that meets the requirements in 24 CFR 5.2005(e), and when a safe unit is not immediately available for a victim of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking who qualifies for an emergency transfer, covered housing providers must, at a minimum:

(1) Review the covered housing provider's existing inventory of units and determine when the next vacant unit may be available; and

(2) Provide a listing of nearby HUD subsidized rental properties, with or without preference for persons of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, and contact information for the local HUD field office.

Plain English

Section 882.804 establishes a cluster of federal obligations that apply to participants in this HUD housing assistance program. These obligations span civil rights compliance (including the Americans with Disabilities Act), protections for survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking (VAWA), prevailing-wage labor standards under the Davis-Bacon Act for projects with nine or more assisted units, and environmental review requirements under the National Environmental Policy Act. The provision also sets out specific duties around emergency transfer plans, annual data reporting to HUD, and interim steps housing providers must take when a safe unit is not immediately available for a qualifying survivor.

For Property Managers

Operators participating in this program under 24 CFR Part 882 § 882.804 generally maintain compliance across several distinct federal frameworks simultaneously. A compliant covered housing provider develops and implements a written emergency transfer plan meeting 24 CFR 5.2005(e), reviews unit inventory when a safe unit is unavailable for a qualifying survivor, provides a listing of nearby HUD-subsidized properties and local HUD field office contact information, and submits annual emergency transfer data to HUD. For projects covering nine or more assisted units, compliant operators also ensure that laborers and mechanics are paid Davis-Bacon prevailing wages, that Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards Act requirements are met, and that environmental review under 24 CFR part 58 is completed before project activities proceed.

For Tenants

Under 24 CFR Part 882 § 882.804, tenants who are survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking have federally protected rights to request an emergency transfer, and their covered housing provider is required to have a written plan in place to facilitate such transfers. If a safe unit is not immediately available, the housing provider is obligated to review its inventory and supply information about nearby HUD-subsidized housing options and the local HUD field office. Tenants who believe these protections are not being honored may contact their local HUD field office, reach out to a tenant-rights or domestic violence advocacy organization, or explore raising a VAWA violation as a defense in relevant proceedings.
