The Equal Access Rule requires homeless shelters to keep trans and nonbinary people safe by properly housing everyone according to their expressed gender. The Department of Housing and Urban Development - or HUD - recently proposed a rollback of the Equal Access Rule that would allow shelters to discriminate against anyone who appears to be transgender or gender-nonconforming.

Nearly one third of transgender or nonbinary people experience homelessness at some point in their lives. More than half of transgender people report being assaulted just for being trans. Lack of safe housing dramatically increases that risk. The Equal Access Rule saves lives.
