Well, Who Didn't See THIS Coming?

From Mark Alper of the National Center for Housing Management comes word that Congress may not reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) when it expires in the near future.  But according to Mark, that doesn't necessarily mean that the protections are likely to go away:

If I were to bet, and I am the furthest thing from a gambler because the compliance mindset doesn't involve much risk-taking, my money would be on HUD finding a way to keep VAWA even if the law isn't reauthorized. Specifically, I can see the Department acting in a manner similar to its promulgation of regulations on equal access in HUD programs regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity.

If there's one thing that's true about regulated housing, it's that the rules are ever-changing.
