ABOUT THE EVENT

Our mixed bag will examine three important fair housing issues, starting with Senior Living Communities, as defined by the Housing and Older Persons Act (HOPA) of 1995. This special classification allows properties to limit occupancy and activities to persons 55 or 62 and older provided certain qualification and documentation requirements are met.

Speaking of exemptions, we’ll focus on who and what is exempt from compliance with the FHA, also known as “Mrs. Murphy Exemption”. Finally, we’ll dive into the newly increased penalties announced by HUD for Fair Housing non-compliance and the inner workings of managing a fair housing complaint.
