Housing challenge program modified by expanding eligible schools.

This bill expands eligibility for the state's Housing Challenge Program to include charter schools, contract alternative schools, and Tribal contract schools as recipients of small grants (under $100,000) for housing projects. It modifies existing law to allow these school types - previously limited to school districts - to access funds for constructing owner-occupied homes. Schools using the grant for home construction must require future occupants to complete homeownership education and counseling under separate law. The change directly affects these specific school entities by broadening their access to housing program funding. The bill does not alter the maximum grant amount or the requirement for homeownership education.
