24 C.F.R. § 882.407
§ 882.407 Other Federal requirements. (24 CFR Part 882)
Operative Text
(a) The moderate rehabilitation program is subject to applicable Federal requirements in 24 CFR 5.105 and to the requirements for protection for victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking in 24 CFR part 5, subpart L (Protection for Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, or Stalking). (b) In order to facilitate emergency transfers for victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, covered housing providers have discretion to adopt and modify any existing admission preferences or transfer waitlist priorities for victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking. (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. (d) Each year, the covered housing provider must submit to HUD data on all emergency transfers requested under 24 CFR 5.2005(e), pertaining to victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, including data on the outcomes of such requests.
Section 882.407 ties the moderate rehabilitation program to a broader set of federal rules, including those found at 24 CFR 5.105 and the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) protections codified at 24 CFR part 5, subpart L. The provision establishes that housing providers covered by this program must have an emergency transfer plan for survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking, and must take specific steps when a safe unit is not immediately available. It also requires annual reporting to HUD on all emergency transfer requests and their outcomes, creating an ongoing accountability mechanism.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under § 882.407, operators participating in the moderate rehabilitation program are expected to maintain a written emergency transfer plan that satisfies the standards set out in 24 CFR 5.2005(e). When a qualifying survivor requests an emergency transfer and no safe unit is immediately available, compliant operators generally review their current unit inventory to project the next vacancy and provide the resident with a list of nearby HUD-subsidized rental properties along with local HUD field office contact information. Covered housing providers also submit annual data reports to HUD documenting every emergency transfer request and its outcome, and may voluntarily adjust admission preferences or waitlist priorities to help facilitate faster placements for survivors.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Section 882.407 gives residents of moderate rehabilitation program housing who are survivors of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking the right to request an emergency transfer under the VAWA protections found in 24 CFR part 5, subpart L. If no safe unit is immediately available, the housing provider is required to review its inventory and supply a list of nearby HUD-subsidized housing options with contact details for the local HUD field office. Tenants who believe these protections have not been honored may consider reaching out to their local HUD field office, raising the violation through any applicable grievance or complaint process, or contacting a tenant-rights organization for general information about available options.
