Which of the following is exempt from familial status protection?

Housing of the elderly is typically considered exempt from familial status protection under the Fair Housing Act. This exemption applies to certain types of housing that are specifically designed and intended for elderly residents, such as senior living communities or housing that restricts occupancy to individuals aged 55 and older. The law acknowledges that such housing may need to provide an environment conducive to the elderly and may not cater to families with children.

In contrast, student housing often includes individuals under 18, which does not exempt it from familial status protections. Military housing is generally not targeted at just elderly or age-restricted persons either, so it does not fall under that exemption. Single-family homes also typically do not qualify for an exemption regarding familial status unless they are owner-occupied and meet very specific criteria set by the Fair Housing Act. Thus, the correct recognition of the exemption for housing designed for the elderly highlights the broader legislative aim to support housing needs for those demographics while protecting families with children in most other housing scenarios.
