End 55+ Carveouts in Subsidized Housing

Fair‑housing law bans family‑status discrimination, yet the Housing for Older Persons Act lets localities steer Low‑Income Housing Tax Credits and approvals into 55‑plus buildings that exclude kids. Conditioning LIHTC and state subsidies on mixed‑age access—except for clear medical/assisted‑living needs—would close a de facto anti‑child loophole. — Rewriting subsidy rules to end age‑restricted defaults would shift 'affordable housing' back toward serving families, reshaping school enrollment, poverty concentration, and intergenerational equity.
