Title: Equal Access to Housing in HUD Programs--Regardless of Sexual Orientation or Gender Identity (FR-5359) 
Abstract: Through this final rule, HUD strives to ensure that its core programs are open to all Americans regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. As the nation's housing agency, HUD programs are designed and administered to meet the national goal of a decent home and suitable living environment for every American. It is HUD's responsibility to ensure that all otherwise eligible organizations, entities, individuals, and families have equal access to HUD programs and have the opportunity to compete fairly for HUD funds without being subject to arbitrary exclusion. There is evidence, however, that lesbian, gay, and bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) individuals and families are arbitrarily excluded from some housing opportunities.
