HUD withdraws rule that would have allowed anti-transgender discrimination
Press release on HUDโs website
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Marcia L. Fudge on Thursday [April 22, 2021] announced that HUD is withdrawing the previous administrationโs proposed rule that would have weakened the Equal Access Rule. The Equal Access Rule ensures that all individuals โ regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity-have equal access to the Departmentโs Office of Community Planning and Development programs, shelters, other buildings and facilities, benefits, services, and accommodations.
โAccess to safe, stable housing-and shelter-is a basic necessity,โ said Secretary Fudge. โUnfortunately, transgender and gender non-conforming people report more instances of housing instability and homelessness than cis-gender people. Today, we are taking a critical step in affirming HUDโs commitment that no person be denied access to housing or other critical services because of their gender identity. HUD is open for business for all.โ
Thank you for reading.
Until next time โญ๏ธ,
๐ฆ with a random rainstorm & abundant sunshine,
A.L.
