SUBMIT COMMENTS SUMMARY OF ISSUE On Friday, July 23, 2020, the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) proposed a new rule that would gut protections for transgender people seeking safe shelter.
This rule would strip away current protections that prohibit federally-funded homeless shelters from discriminating against transgender people.
The new rule permits shelters to discriminate, which will result in needless suffering and death. No one should be denied access to a homeless shelter because of who they are.
WHAT YOU CAN DO The Trump administration continues to launch cruel and dehumanizing attacks on LGBTQ individuals, especially transgender people, and people living in poverty.
