Fair Housing
Under HOPA (Housing for Older Persons Act), an age-restricted community may legally discriminate based on familial status if:
AAt least 50% of occupied units have at least one person age 55 or older, AND the community publishes and follows policies demonstrating intent to house 55+ persons
BThe community was built before 1988 and has always been marketed to seniors
CAll residents are 62 years of age or older
DBoth A and C qualify as valid HOPA exemptions✓ Correct
Explanation
HOPA provides two exemptions from familial status protections: (1) 62-and-over communities where all residents are 62+, and (2) 55+ communities where at least 80% of occupied units have at least one person age 55+, and the community publishes and follows policies demonstrating intent to be 55+ housing. Both qualify.
