Idea

A model structure for homotopy nn-types with nn \in \mathbb{N} is a model category which presents an (n+1,1)-category of homotopy n-types hence of n-truncated objects in some ambient (∞,1)-category.

For plain homotopy nn-types (in ∞Grpd/Top) this is a presentation of the collection of n-groupoids. With respect to an arbitrary (∞,1)-topos it is a presentation of n-stacks.

Typically these model structures can be obtained as the left Bousfield localization of model structure that present the ambient (∞,1)-category of all homotopy types.
