Prohibits discrimination based upon housing status

This bill adds "housing status" to New York's existing anti-discrimination protections in employment, housing, and public accommodations. It explicitly defines "housing status" to include people experiencing homelessness, living in temporary shelters (like homeless shelters or transitional housing), or residing in places not designed for regular overnight stays (e.g., cars, sidewalks). The law prohibits discrimination based on this status by employers, landlords, and businesses providing public services, integrating it into current enforcement mechanisms under the Division of Human Rights. It does not create new penalties but extends existing protections to cover housing instability as a protected category.
