Defending the Equal Access Rule: Supporting Vulnerable Clients and Preserving Universal Protections



The Equal Access Rule ensures that the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s housing programs are open to all eligible individuals and families, regardless of family composition, sexual orientation, gender identity, or marital status. And the unique vulnerabilities of gender expansive communities reinforce the importance of these protections. Yet recent federal actions threaten this Rule, creating burdens for providers and barriers for clients.
