# §200.38. Protections for victims of domestic violence.

- (a) The requirements for protection for victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking in [24 CFR part 5](/cfr/24/part5.md), [subpart L](/cfr/24/subpartL.md) (Protection for Victims of Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, Sexual Assault, or Stalking) apply to programs administered under [section 236](/cfr/24/236.md) and under sections 221(d)(3) and (d)(5) of the National Housing Act, as follows:
  - (1) Multifamily rental housing under section 221(d)(3) of the National Housing Act ([12 U.S.C. 17151(d)](/usc/12/17151.md?p=d)) with a below-market interest rate (BMIR) pursuant to [section 221(d)(5)](/cfr/24/221.md?p=d-5), with implementing regulations at [24 CFR part 221](/cfr/24/part221.md). The [Section 221(d)(3)](/cfr/24/221.md?p=d-3) BMIR program insured and subsidized mortgage loans to facilitate new construction or substantial rehabilitation of multifamily rental cooperative housing for low- and moderate-income families. The program is no longer active, but [Section 221(d)(3)](/cfr/24/221.md?p=d-3) BMIR properties that remain in existence are covered by VAWA. Coverage of section [221(d)(3)](/cfr/24/221.md?p=d-3) and [(d)(5)](/cfr/24/221.md?p=d-5) BMIR housing does not include section [221(d)(3)](/cfr/24/221.md?p=d-3) and [(d)(5)](/cfr/24/221.md?p=d-5) BMIR projects that refinance under section 223(a)(7) or 223(f) of the National Housing Act where the interest rate is no longer determined under [section 221(d)(5)](/cfr/24/221.md?p=d-5).
  - (2) Multifamily rental housing under section 236 of the National Housing Act ([12 U.S.C. 1715z-1](/usc/12/1715z-1.md)), with implementing regulations at [24 CFR part 236](/cfr/24/part236.md). Coverage of the [section 236](/cfr/24/236.md) program includes not only those projects with FHA-insured project mortgages under [section 236(j)](/cfr/24/236.md?p=j), but also non-FHA-insured projects that receive interest reduction payments (“IRP”) under [section 236(b)](/cfr/24/236.md?p=b) and formerly insured [section 236](/cfr/24/236.md) projects that continue to receive interest reduction payments through a “decoupled” IRP contract under [section 236(e)(2)](/cfr/24/236.md?p=e-2). Coverage also includes projects that receive rental assistance payments authorized under [section 236(f)(2)](/cfr/24/236.md?p=f-2).
- (b) For the programs administered under [paragraph (a)](#a) of this section, “covered housing provider” as such term is used in [24 CFR part 5](/cfr/24/part5.md), [subpart L](/cfr/24/subpartL.md), refers to the mortgagor, or owner, as applicable.
