Actually, it appears the 3rd amendment might apply to the states, the 2nd circuit ruled in the early 1980s in Engblom v. Carey that the third amendment applied to the states and that national guard soldiers activated to perform civilian functions qualified as soldiers for the 3rd amendment.
That case involved striking corrections officers at a New York prison, they officers lived in employer provided housing and went on strike, so the corrections department kicked the strikers out and moved national guardsmen into their housing while the NYARNG performed the corrections officers duties.
The case ended up bringing no relief for the Officers since the court also ruled that Hugh Carey was the governor he was entitled to QI but they did incorporate the 3rd in the 2nd circuit and made a loose definition of "soldier"
