Speak Up for Safe Housing β Submit a Comment by Friday, June 29
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has proposed rolling back the Equal Access Rule, a policy that currently helps ensure trans people can access federally-funded housing and emergency shelters consistent with their gender identity. The proposal would remove references to gender identity from HUD regulations, which will allow federally-funded shelters to deny trans, nonbinary, and inters*x people access to appropriate facilities or require invasive proof of a person's "biological s*x."
Now is the time to speak up. You can make a difference.
Federal agencies are required to review and consider public comments before finalizing a rule. Personal, unique comments can be very impactful. Tell HUD why safe, equal access to housing matters to you, your family, your work, or your community. View TransOhio's comment for inspiration.
Submit your public comment by 11:59PM on FRIDAY, June 29
Visit Regulations.gov (Docket HUD-2026-0529 / FR-6518-P-01) and share your thoughts.
Whether you're transgender, an ally, a service provider, a family member, or simply believe everyone deserves safe housing, your voice matters. You can even submit a pubmit comment anonymously. Thank you for standing with Ohio's greater trans communities.
