This call will focus on HUD’s proposed changes to the Equal Access Rule, which would allow widespread discrimination towards transgender, gender nonconforming, and nonbinary people by removing protections for equal access to shelters and other HUD-funded programs.

During this funder call, we will hear more about the proposed rule, how philanthropy can take action during the public comment process, and the importance of LGBTQ equity in philanthropy’s work. The call will also allow for people to share updates from their community, how the Equal Access Rule will impact their community, especially during COVID-19, and ask for feedback and thought partnership from colleagues around actions philanthropy can take to further support the LGBTQ and trans communities.
