The HOPA law identifies communities that are restricted for adults over 55. In order to be one of these communities, there are many steps to take - specifically in the establishment of the HOA. If a community still wants to attract adults over 55, but does not want to handle all the requirements of the HOPA law, they simply use the term Active Adult!!! :) Active Adult Communities came about because of the HOPA LAW from the Federal Housing Authority.

So it becomes a case of the blind leading the blind. The coming wave of boomers will insist on communities employing competent, and knowledgeable, activity directors.
