Summary: The American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) opposes the proposed rule, arguing that it would create barriers to shelter access for vulnerable populations, particularly LGBTQ+ individuals. They contend that the revisions would worsen health outcomes, increase reliance on high-cost emergency care, and impose significant administrative and legal burdens on program providers.
On behalf of the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), which represents more than 124,500 family physicians and medical students across the country, please see the attached comments in response to this proposed rule.
