The short answer is:
Federal Register 24 CFR Part 100; section 760.24-760.37 (4a), Florida Statutes
For a community to be considered "housing for older persons" as a 55+ community, the housing must be intended and operated for occupancy by persons 55 years of age or older and meet the following requirements:
1. At least 80% of the occupied units are occupied by at least one person 55 years of age or older.
2. The facility or community publishes and adheres to policies and procedures that demonstrate its intent to in fact be a provider of housing for older persons.
3. The facility or community complies with rules established by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for verification of occupancy.

Anyone living in the Villages under age 19 should have been granted a special permission usually due to their special needs.

What I posted is the law - not my opinion that needs agreement.

An older child living with parents is "shady'? LOL I know several parents who have opened their homes to returning children, which children have returned for NUMEROUS reasons - from addiction to divorce to illness to unemployment to financial ruin to caring for thier parents, ETC! I do not judge why the children return; and it is clear that the parents accept them back because they still love their children! The same holds true no matter where parents live and where/when children need assistance - no matter the age of the parents or their children.
