Brown claims that G. L. c. 151B, § 4 (10), is preempted by Section 8 of the United States Housing Act of 1937, 42 U.S.C. § 1437f(a) (1982), and therefore is void under the supremacy clause of art. 6 of the United States Constitution. Although the issue was not raised prior to this appeal, we may consider such an issue in exceptional circumstances. See Albert v. Municipal Court of the City of Boston, 388 Mass. 491, 494 (1983). 4
