Declaration of policy
Operative Text
It is hereby declared to be the policy of the Village, in the exercise of its police power for the protection of the public safety, public health, public morals and public welfare, and for the promotion of equal opportunity to all persons to live in decent facilities, regardless of the actual or perceived status, practice or expression of that person's race, color, religion, age, or national origin, or ancestry, sex, age, sexual orientation, marital status, parental status, military discharge status, source of income, or housing status, or the actual or perceived association with such a person, to prohibit discrimination in housing and real estate transactions.
Section 18-1050 of Glenview's Fair Housing chapter establishes the village's foundational commitment to equal housing opportunity. Under this policy, the village uses its governmental authority to prohibit discrimination in housing and real estate transactions. The provision covers a broad range of protected characteristics, including race, religion, sex, age, sexual orientation, source of income, and housing status, among others, as well as association with someone who holds such a characteristic.

Glenview Ch. 18 Art. XVIII § 18-1050 sets the overarching policy framework that governs how property owners and managers must conduct housing and real estate transactions in the village. Compliant operators generally ensure that decisions about renting, selling, or otherwise dealing in real property are made without regard to any of the protected characteristics enumerated in this provision. Understanding this declaration helps operators recognize the scope of the village's fair housing obligations before reviewing the more specific requirements that follow in the chapter.
