An Act improving municipal access to general existing housing data

This bill requires the executive office to create a centralized, machine-readable database containing detailed housing data for developments with subsidized units across Massachusetts. It mandates reporting of specific information for both new and existing subsidized housing, including unit counts, income restriction tiers (80%, 50%, 30% of area median income), unit features (bedrooms, square footage), and geocoded locations. Municipalities, state agencies, and regional public entities will gain standardized access to this annual database to inform housing planning and policy. The database must be updated yearly and remain screen-reader compatible, with key changes effective December 2027.
