Form 5380 (Notice of Rights) and Form 5382 (Self-Certification) are used to ensure compliance with which protections?

These forms implement protections for victims of violence under the Violence Against Women Act in HUD-assisted housing. The Notice of Rights explains to applicants and residents what VAWA protections are available and how they apply, including confidentiality and safety-related options. The Self-Certification lets a victim affirm they are affected by domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking without needing extensive documentation, so the housing provider can apply VAWA protections promptly. This helps prevent discrimination or eviction based on DV status and supports confidential handling and safety accommodations. ADA accommodations and environmental protections address different rights, and while the Fair Housing Act covers anti-discrimination broadly, these forms target the specific protections provided by VAWA.
