A Message From Our Executive Director
At the Sinton Housing Authority, our mission is simple: to provide safe, quality, and affordable housing that strengthens families and enriches our community. Every day, we work to ensure that our residents feel supported, respected, and empowered. Together with our commissioners and dedicated staff, we remain committed to building a brighter future for Sinton — one home, one family at a time.
Domestic Violence Protections
The Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act of 2013 (VAWA 2013) expands housing protections for victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking. Changes under VAWA 2013 include extending protections to survivors of sexual assault; allowing survivors who remain in the unit to establish eligibility or find new housing when a lease is bifurcated; providing survivors with emergency transfers; and additional notification to applicants and tenants of housing rights under VAWA. While these changes substantially extend VAWA's coverage to include most affordable housing programs, they provide no protection to tenants in private market-rate housing but do apply to tenants with vouchers in private market-housing.
The Sinton Housing Authority will provide all protection under VAWA 2013 to program participants and family members of program participants who are victims of domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, or stalking from being evicted or terminated from housing assistance based on acts of such violence against them.
