announced proposed changes to its Equal Access Rule July 1. Formulated when Barack Obama was president, the rule has required that people in single-sex or sex-segregated shelters that receive HUD funding be placed according to their gender identity, as transgender and gender-nonconforming people often experience harassment and violence when placed according to the sex they were assigned at birth.But changes to the rule will mean that shelter operators will be able to decide where to place these clients, although HUD claims it will not allow discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity.
