“Equal Access to Housing in Department of Housing and Urban Development Programs”
Housing providers and nonprofits participating in HUD programs should track this proposed rulemaking closely. Equal Access rules typically establish who may access HUD-funded housing and under what circumstances — any expansion of protected classes could require updates to tenant screening procedures, marketing practices, and staff training. Housing compliance teams should begin internal audits of current nondiscrimination policies in anticipation of a final rule.
