                                                                            Nondiscrimination Requirements
                                                                                Under the Fair Housing Act

to elect to serve elderly families, limit the numbers of disabled families residing in
                 the projects or to adopt preferences for elderly families, depending upon the type
                 of project and whether certain requirements are met. While owners must comply
                 with all relevant sections pursuant to Title VI-D, owners should pay close
                 attention to Sections 651 and 658 with respect to eligibility and tenant selection.
                 See paragraph **3-18** for more information about an owner’s responsibilities
                 under these sections of the statute

       B.        While this statute is not a civil rights law, it is referenced in this chapter because
                 if it is applied incorrectly, an owner may be in violation of federal civil rights laws,
                 as well as program requirements.
