Key Points

Would require cities and other local governments that get certain federal community grants to keep an online list of land they own that is still undeveloped.
The list would have to be public, searchable, and posted on a website so residents, builders, and community groups can easily find these parcels.
The goal is to make it easier to see what public land could be used for future projects, like housing or other community needs.
This requirement would start October 1, 2026, giving local governments time to build and update the database.
