If a household is divided due to a VAWA-related crime, how many days do remaining members have to establish their eligibility?

When a household is affected by a crime covered under the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA), it is important to understand the provisions that allow remaining members of the household to establish their eligibility for continued assistance. Under VAWA regulations, individuals who are not the perpetrator of the crime have a specified period during which they can confirm their eligibility to remain in assisted housing. This period is set at 30 days, allowing the remaining household members to gather necessary documentation and establish their status without immediate fear of losing their housing. This timeframe ensures that those impacted by domestic violence have adequate support and resources to secure their housing needs while addressing the aftermath of the crime.
