There is nothing in the regs that say you can not sell your house to a 35 year old buyer. It does say who can occupy an occupied unit. The following is copied from the regs.

"3. Verification of Age of Occupants – Verify age of occupants at time of
occupancy and update verification every two years.
a. Policies must require compliance with age verification procedures.
The best documentation of age is government-issued identification,
such as drivers license, passport. Alternative methods are available
if such documentation cannot be provided. 24 C.F.R. 100.307(7)(f).
b. The biennial age survey must show 80% occupancy by someone age
55 or older.
c. You may use the same proof of age originally provided by the tenant
if you verify the same tenant is in the home/unit.
d. The biennial survey must be maintained and available for public
inspection upon request. The documentation of individual residents,
however, is not open to public inspection."
