For purposes of subparagraph (A), a determination under this subparagraph is a determination that domestic violence has been committed, which is made by any agency or official of a State or unit of general local government (including a public housing agency) based upon--

(i) information provided by any medical, legal, counseling, or other clinic, shelter, sexual assault program, or other program or entity licensed, recognized, or authorized by the State or unit of general local government to provide services to victims of domestic violence or sexual assault;

(ii) information provided by any agency of the State, unit of general local government, or nonprofit nongovernmental organization that provides or administers the provision of social, medical, legal, or health services;

(iii) information provided by any clergy;

(iv) information provided by any hospital, clinic, medical facility, or doctor licensed or authorized by the State or unit of general local government to provide medical services;

(v) a petition or complaint filed in a court or law or documents or records of action of any court or law enforcement agency, including any record of any protection order, injunction, or temporary or final order issued by civil or criminal courts or any police report; or

(vi) any other reliable evidence that domestic violence has occurred. A victim's statement that domestic violence has occurred shall be sufficient unless the agency has an independent, reasonable basis to find the individual not credible.
