Which description matches the 55+ housing criterion used for exemptions?

• A. Housing with 80% of units occupied by at least one person aged 55 or older
• B. Housing with no age limitation
• C. Housing that requires families with children
• D. Housing with all residents under 55

Answer: (A)

55+ housing exemptions are based on an occupancy threshold that keeps the community primarily for older adults. The description that matches is housing where at least 80% of the units are occupied by at least one person aged 55 or older. This ensures the development is designed for older adults while allowing a majority presence of residents aged 55 or older to meet the exemption criteria.

The other scenarios don’t fit because they either remove the age requirement entirely, target families with children, or require everyone to be under 55, which would not meet the 55+ exemption.
