Explanation
The Housing for Older Persons Act (HOPA) exempts qualifying senior housing communities from the familial status protection of the Fair Housing Act. To qualify, a community must: (1) be intended for and occupied solely by persons 62 or older, OR (2) have 80% of occupied units with at least one person 55 or older AND have policies demonstrating intent to house 55+ persons AND register with HUD. Oregon recognizes these federal exemptions.
