HUD has updated the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) forms. There forms are designed to handle transfers, certification of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and/or stalking. Additionally, these forms provide notice of rights and responsibilities to residents and housing providers. These forms now expire on January 31, 2028.
The update of these forms was first submitted for public approval in 2022, after the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women’s Act. These HUD forms were updated to meet the legislative changes implemented in 2013 and 2016, and to provide additional data collection.

The forms that have been updated include:
-
- HUD-5380 Notice of Occupancy Rights Under the Violence Against Women Act
- HUD-5381 Model Emergency Transfer Plan for Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, or Stalking

Additional guidance is expected from HUD in the near future regarding the implementation of these new forms. The previous forms have been removed from HUD’s website.
