Enacts the care workforce housing preference act

Summary

The bill adds a new section to the Private Housing Finance Law that gives households with at least one care‑worker (such as nurses, direct‑support professionals, or therapists) a lottery weighting or tie‑breaker advantage when applying for eligible low‑income housing. The preference applies during the first 60 days of each marketing cycle and can cover up to 20% of restricted units, with lower targets optional. It is intended to help care‑workers afford housing and improve recruitment and retention in those occupations.
