HUD will halt and stop bringing enforcement actions against housing and #homelessness providers violating the Equal Access Rule, which seeks to ensure people can access key shelter and housing programs in accordance with their #GenderIdentity. https://www.hud.gov/press/press_releases_media_advisories/hud_no_25_026

The Equal Access Rule is still in place and the law of the land. Communities must continue to apply the rule’s standards, regardless of HUD’s refusal to enforce it.

HUD must complete legally required notice-and-comment rulemaking processes if it wants to remove protections. Unchecked discrimination would expose even more trans and nonbinary people to dangerous unsheltered conditions. https://endhomelessness.org/resource/7-takeaways-from-2024-point-in-time-count-data-on-homelessness/

Any policy that excludes people because of their #GenderIdentity or expression directly conflicts with HUD’s mission “to create strong, sustainable, inclusive communities and quality affordable homes for all.” ALL means ALL.

Those of us committed to #HousingJustice must continue to stand in solidarity with our trans and nonbinary family, friends and community as they face this alongside a litany of attacks from federal and state governments. https://translegislation.com/

Homelessness is unacceptable and solvable, no matter who is experiencing it. We must continue to scale up the #RentalAssistance and voluntary supportive services that solve and prevent #homelessness, including building towards a rental assistance guarantee. https://www.cbpp.org/blog/rising-homelessness-highlights-need-to-invest-in-proven-solutions-reject-policies-that-worsen
