in Homeless Shelters
National Association of REALTORS®
|
The National Association of REALTORS® issued a letter to U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Ben Carson on Tuesday opposing a new rule that could restrict access to homeless shelters for transgender people.
“At a time when millions of Americans are at risk of losing their homes, the new rule would almost certainly force more people onto the streets and leave transgender people experiencing homelessness unsheltered or vulnerable to violence,” Vince Malta, NAR’s president, writes in the letter to HUD. “It would weaken our communities.”
