Is the AFHMP required for properties built or rehabbed before February 1972?

The AFHMP, or Analysis of Impediments to Fair Housing Choice, is a necessary tool for promoting fair housing practices. For properties built or rehabbed before February 1972, the AFHMP is required only if specific circumstances necessitate it, such as contractual obligations or certain funding sources that mandate compliance with fair housing laws.

This flexibility recognizes the varying contexts of multifamily housing developments and allows for tailored approaches to fair housing requirements. The rationale behind this option is that while older properties may face different challenges regarding fair housing, the need for an AFHMP is dependent on the specifics of the agreement governing those properties rather than a blanket requirement that applies uniformly to all.

In contrast, the other options suggest a more absolute stance on the requirements, which does not accurately reflect the nuances of fair housing regulations. Some properties, even if old, may not require an AFHMP unless specifically called for by their funding sources or partnership agreements, which underscores the importance of evaluating each situation individually.
