SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: HUD is
submitting this proposed extension,
without change, of a currently approved
information collection requirement to
the OMB for review, as required under
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995
[44 U.S.C. chapter 35, as amended].
A. Overview of Information Collection
Title of Information Collection:
Implementation of the Housing for
Older Persons Act of 1995 (HOPA).
OMB Control Number: 2529–0046.
Type of Request: Proposed extension,
without change, of a currently approved
information collection requirement.
Description of the need for the
information and proposed use: The Fair
Housing Act [42 U.S.C. 3601 et seq.],
prohibits discrimination in the sale,
rental, occupancy, advertising, insuring,
or financing of residential dwellings
based on familial status (individuals

living in households with one or more
children under 18 years of age).
However, under § 3607(b)(2) of the Act,
Congress exempted three (3) categories
of ‘‘housing for older persons’’ from
liability for familial status
discrimination: (1) housing provided
under any State or Federal program
which the Secretary of HUD determines
is ‘‘specifically designed and operated
to assist elderly persons (as defined in
the State or Federal program)’’; (2)
housing ’’intended for, and solely
occupied by persons 62 years of age or
older’’; and (3) housing ‘‘intended and
operated for occupancy by at least one
person 55 years of age or older per unit
[‘55 or older’ housing].’’ In December
1995, Congress passed the Housing for
Older Persons Act of 1995 (HOPA) [Pub.
L. 104–76, 109 STAT. 787] as an
amendment to the Fair Housing Act.
The HOPA modified the ‘‘55 or older’’
housing exemption provided under
§ 3607(b)(2)(C) of the Fair Housing Act
by eliminating the requirement that a
housing provider must offer ‘‘significant
facilities and services specifically
designed to meet the physical or social
needs of older persons.’’ In order to
qualify for the HOPA exemption, a
housing community or facility must
meet each of the following criteria: (1)
at least 80 percent of the occupied units
in the community or facility must be
occupied by at least one person who is
55 years of age of older; (2) the housing
provider must publish and adhere to
policies and procedures that
demonstrate the intent to operate
housing for persons 55 years of age or
older; and (3) the housing provider must
demonstrate compliance with ‘‘rules
issued by the Secretary for verification
of occupancy, which shall . . . provide
for [age] verification by reliable surveys
and affidavits.’’
The HOPA did not significantly
increase the record-keeping burden for
the ‘‘55 or older’’ housing exemption. It
describes in greater detail the
documentary evidence which HUD will
consider when determining, during a
familial status discrimination complaint
investigation, whether or not a housing
facility or community qualified for the
‘‘55 or older’’ housing exemption as of
the date on which the alleged Fair
Housing Act violation occurred.
The HOPA information collection
requirements are necessary to establish
a housing provider’s eligibility to claim
the ‘‘55 or older’’ housing exemption as
an affirmative defense to a familial
status discrimination complaint filed
with HUD under the Fair Housing Act.
The information will be collected in the
normal course of business in connection
with the sale, rental, or occupancy of
