Equal Access Training

MDHI hosted an Equal Access Rule Training in accordance with HUD’s Gender Identity Rule. The Equal Access Rule (EAR) ensures that all individuals - regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity - have equal access to HUD's programs. This includes shelters, benefits, services and accommodations. As such, it prohibits certain forms of discrimination against persons identifying within the LGBTQIA2S+ umbrella.

The training session offers a deeper dive into the following:

  • CoC Policy and HUD's Equal Access Rules

  • Laws prohibiting discrimination

  • Strategies to provide all individuals who interact with CoC-funded programs a safe, healthy, inclusive, affirming, and discrimination-free environment

Every agency that receives CoC funding should engage with these materials.
