Local education agency-owned land: development of affordable housing.

Summary

The bill lets local education agencies (school districts) send a list of any available district‑owned land to the Department of Housing and Community Development for review as potential affordable‑housing sites. If the land is deemed suitable, it must be listed in a state‑wide digitized inventory and offered to pre‑identified housing sponsors, and any new housing must give district employees and local tenants a right of first refusal. It also changes how the Building Homes and Jobs Trust Fund distributes money, directing a portion to district‑built workforce housing and creating a zero‑interest loan pool for such projects.
