relative to accessory dwelling units and workforce housing.

HB 1017 allows New Hampshire towns to count accessory dwelling units (ADUs, like backyard cottages) toward their local workforce housing goals. It requires that ADUs meet specific affordability standards and lets municipalities enforce these standards through legal agreements recorded with property deeds. The bill directly affects local governments and property owners who develop or manage ADUs. This change modifies how towns calculate existing housing obligations without creating new state-level requirements.
