For 55 and older housing, which agency's approval must be obtained before construction begins?

Explanation:
When a development is intended to be marketed as housing for people 55 and older, HUD approval is required because HUD administers the older persons exemption under the Fair Housing Act (as amended by HOPA). This approval ensures the project meets the specific policies and occupancy criteria that allow it to be designated as 55+ housing, including how residents are admitted and how the property is marketed and managed. The other agencies—EPA, OSHA, and FDA—handle environmental permits, workplace safety, and medical/food/drug regulation, respectively, and do not oversee the eligibility or approval process for age-restricted housing.
