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 AttendIf 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).

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.
