HUD Secretary Ben Carson's department proposes weakening Equal Access Rule protections for transgender people established in 2012.
President Donald Trump’s administration has proposed a rule change that would allow homeless shelters to deny transgender people equal access to services.
HUD Secretary Ben Carson told House lawmakers this week HUD was “not currently anticipating changing the rule.”HUD’s proposed change, published this spring, would allow shelter providers to consider “an individual’s sex for the purposes of determining accommodation within such shelters and for purposes of determining sex for admission to any facility.
Mara Keisling, executive director of the National Center for Transgender Equality, slammed the plan as a “heartless attack on some of the most vulnerable people in our society.” The Equal Access Rule change reflects an administration with a complicated relationship with the LGBTQ community.
