Protect The Equal Access Rule, Submit Public Comment
At a time when gas prices are increasing and housing costs are on the rise, the current administration is yet again setting its sights on gutting protections for our trans and intersex community.
They are looking to remove critical protections meant to ensure the safety of any trans person in need of Department of Housing & Urban Development (HUD) funded programs - especially housing and domestic violence housing shelters. The Equal Access Rule's protections against discrimination are critical to ensure safe access to shelter for transgender and intersex people experiencing homelessness, survivors of violence, and those fleeing disasters.
This proposed rollback would encourage widespread discrimination when trans people need help the most, when facing the loss of their housing. The current regulations provide safety in HUD-funded programs, and Trump's proposed rule change would only leave trans and intersex people less safe and more at risk.
