· LAHSA is expecting a proposed rule from HUD in the coming days to weaken enforcement of the federal Equal Access Rule, which currently prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identification in HUD-funded programs, including shelters. The proposal would give operators of federally-funded shelters the discretion to base access on a person’s biological sex at birth rather than in accordance with their gender identity.
