Please let us know how the conversation goes...




That is a really good question. There must be some financial benefit in meeting HUDs requirements for "Housing intended and operated for occupancy by persons 55 years of age or older"? LIHTC and LURA programs award tax credits that can be sold and the qualifications are 80% occupancy of over 55 along with the advertising of "over 55 community".

I suppose 20% of the residents could have children and they would still qualify?? But that would bring in the argument (possibly lawsuit) over why that resident can have children under the age of 19 living with them and another can only have them visit for 30 days...
My understanding is that 80% of the homes must be occupied by at least one person over the age of 55.

I think that in addition to what you mentioned this condition must be met in order to circumvent age discrimination laws. I'm not sure, but I think that this is how they can have a rule against people under the age of 19 living here.

If you think about it only about 20% of the people living here have to be over 55. You could have one person over 55 and three people under 55 living in 80% of the homes. The rest of the homes could have four people under 55 living in them.
