THE MONTH OF APRIL marks the seventeenth anniversary of the
signing of the National Fair Housing Law. This law
provides that it shall be unlawful "to discriminate
against any person in terms, conditions, or privileges
of the sale or rental of a dwelling or in the provision
of services or facilities in connection therewith because
of race, color, religion, sex or national origin." Iowa
City's Human Rights Ordinance expands on the federal law
by also providing protection on the basis of age and dis-
ability.
THE DENIAL OF EQUAL HOUSING OPPORTUNITY is one of the most
serious challenges a community can face. It is a challenge
that must be met and surmounted lest it erode the vital
social structure that holds a community together and gives
it shape and dimension. The need for shelter is an essential
human need. The right to freely choose a place to live is
a basic human right and discrimination in housing not only
is against the law, it is contrary to our own sense of what
our country should mean to us and to others.
THERE ARE VOLUNTARY PROGRAMS in support of fair housing that we as
concerned citizens can join and support at every level in
our community and in our jobs. There are personal and pro-
fessional attitudes that we can and must change. These
efforts are fair and just and necessary if we are to make
fair housing a basic right for ourselves and our neighbors.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, John McDonald, Mayor of the City of Iowa City,
Iowa, do hereby designate the month of April 1985 as FAIR
HOUSING MONTH. I urge all of our citizens to join in this
observance by resolving to fight discrimination in their
personal daily lives and by making themselves aware of the
Fair Housing Law and the ways in which it applies to our
community.
