7-26-3: FINDINGS:
The corporate authorities hereby find:
   (A)   The economic stability of the village and the welfare of its citizens are directly dependent upon long term population diversity and integration.
   (B)   That long term population diversity and integration are threatened by discriminatory acts and unlawful housing practices.
   (C)   That discriminatory acts and unfair housing practices violate the rights of individuals to choose where to live and raise their families.
   (D)   That discriminatory acts and unfair housing practices contribute to the formation and preservation of a segregated neighborhood, thereby affecting the quality of daily life of the residents of the village.
   (E)   That discriminatory acts and unfair housing practices interfere with the achievement of long term population diversity and integration, thereby depriving the citizens of the benefits of interracial, interreligious and intercultural association.
   (F)   That when real estate solicitations are conducted at the homes of residents who do not desire to sell, list or rent their dwellings, such solicitations invade the privacy of these residents, and apply unwarranted pressure on these residents to move, threatening the village's long term population, and integration.
