HUD has published its anti-transgender change to the Equal Access Rule in the Federal Register. Submit comments to HUD to oppose this harmful proposal that would remove protections against discrimination for transgender and gender-nonconforming people experiencing homelessness, severely limiting their ability to access emergency shelters and services. Read more about HUD’s proposed rule in this Memo to Members and Partners – and visit the Housing Saves Lives campaign website (https://housingsaveslives.org/) where you can learn more and submit your comments opposing the rule. Comments must be submitted by September 22.
NLIHC, True Colors United, National LGBTQ Task Force, National Housing Law Project, and other national organizations launched the Housing Saves Lives campaign to oppose HUD’s anti-transgender rule. The campaign website, HouseSavesLives.org, provides advocacy tools, resources to help draft your unique comment, and the latest news on the rule. The website will continue to be updated throughout the comment period.
