An Act improving municipal access to general existing housing data

This bill requires the state executive office to create a centralized, accessible database containing detailed housing data for all subsidized housing developments in Massachusetts. It mandates reporting on new and existing developments, including unit counts, income restrictions (at 80%, 50%, and 30% of area median income), unit features (bedrooms, size), and geocoded locations. Municipalities, state agencies, and regional public entities will gain access to this machine-readable database, which must be updated annually. The law repeals outdated provisions and takes effect in 2025, standardizing how housing data is collected and shared.
