(RECAP: HUD today published a final rule to ensure that all individuals have equal access to many of the Department’s core shelter programs in accordance with their gender identity. HUD’s new rule will require a recipient, sub-recipient, or provider to establish, amend, or maintain program admissions, occupancy, and operating policies and procedures (including policies and procedures to protect individuals’ privacy and security), so that equal access is provided to individuals based on their gender identity. This requirement includes tenant selection and admission preferences.)
