The Housing and Urban Development Agency announced a proposed rule that would allow homeless shelters that receive federal funding to discriminate against transgender people. This creates unsafe conditions and unsafe barriers to housing and services for trans people in the midst of a global pandemic. The new rule allows shelter providers that lawfully operate as single-sex or sex-segregated facilities to voluntarily establish a policy that will govern admissions determinations for situations when an individual’s gender identity does not match their biological sex,” the agency said in a statement. This means that the rule allows shelters to completely ignore a trans person’s gender identity and can instead choose to house them according to their assigned sex at birth, which goes against the 2016 Equal Access Rule established by the Obama administration.
