On Jan. 20, President Biden issued Executive Order 13988, titled “Preventing and Combating Discrimination on the Basis of Gender Identity or Sexual Orientation.” The order directed executive branch agencies to examine further steps that could be taken to combat such discrimination. HUD became the first agency to announce that it will implement the order by administering and enforcing the Fair Housing Act to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.
