Since the subject of this thread is the"80% law" I thought it might be helpful to quote said law.
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the Housing for Older Persons
Act of 1995.
SEC. 2. DEFINITION OF HOUSING FOR OLDER PERSONS.
Section 807(b)(2)(C) of the Fair Housing Act (42 U.S.C.
3607(b)(2)(C)) is amended to read as follows:
(C) intended and operated for occupancy by persons 55
years of age or older, and
(i) at least 80 percent of the occupied units are occupied

older;
(ii) the housing facility or community publishes and
adheres to policies and procedures that demonstrate the
intent required under this subparagraph; and
