It is the policy of the Village of Hudson Falls in the exercise of its police power for the public health, safety and general welfare to assure that all persons have equal opportunity for housing choices without regard to race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status or national origin and to prohibit all forms of discrimination which are contrary to this objective.
Section 102-1 of the Hudson Falls Code of Ordinances establishes the village's foundational policy that all people are entitled to equal housing opportunities regardless of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin. The provision frames this commitment as an exercise of the village's police power in the interest of public health, safety, and general welfare. All forms of housing discrimination that conflict with this equal-opportunity objective are prohibited under this policy.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Section 102-1 sets the overarching anti-discrimination framework that governs housing in Hudson Falls, meaning operators who rent, sell, or manage residential property are expected to conduct their activities without regard to race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin. Compliant property owners and managers typically apply consistent, objective criteria when screening applicants, setting terms, and managing tenancies. Understanding this foundational policy is important because subsequent provisions in Chapter 102 build upon it.
