Section 1

(210 ILCS 115/1) (from Ch. 111 1/2, par. 711) Sec. 1. The General Assembly of Illinois finds: (1) that there is a serious housing shortage in this State; (2) that rising costs in the building construction field have seriously impeded the building of new housing, particularly for moderate-income and low-income citizens; (3) that the existing housing stock is continuously depleted through demolition resulting from aging buildings, urban renewal, highway construction, and other necessary public improvements; (4) that advances in the construction of mobile homes have significantly increased the importance of this mode of housing; and (5) that, through proper regulation and licensing, mobile homes can contribute to the quality housing of Illinois citizens.
