On Nov. 9, 2012, HUD chief John Trasviña released new guidelines to support housing providers that wish to help those displaced by Hurricane Sandy. Under the new guidelines, HUD will relax the rules to allow senior housing communities to admit evacuees under age 55 without jeopardizing their qualification for certain legal exemptions under the federal Fair Housing Act (FHA). Trasviña said he hoped the new guidelines would alleviate any fair housing concerns and encourage communities to open up available housing to families affected by Hurricane Sandy.
