establishing community workforce housing targets, special assessment provisions, and a revolving loan fund for workforce housing development.

Summary

The measure directs the Department of Business and Economic Affairs, with regional planning commissions, to set ten‑year workforce housing goals for every New Hampshire municipality and to track progress each year. Towns that fall short of 50% of their cumulative targets would have to review zoning, face a tiered special property tax on high‑value homes, and remit the proceeds to a new revolving loan fund that offers low‑interest loans for workforce housing projects. The aim is to increase affordable housing near jobs and improve local zoning that may be blocking development.
