Prohibits discrimination based upon housing status

This bill prohibits discrimination based on housing status, defined as lacking a fixed residence (including homelessness), living in shelters, or in transitional housing like temporary shelters or safe havens. It adds "housing status" to New York State's anti-discrimination laws, protecting individuals from bias in employment, housing, and public accommodations. The bill updates existing legal provisions to include this category and requires state agencies to enforce these protections. It also mandates that advisory councils and human rights plans address discrimination related to housing status.
