HR 6773 would require cities, counties, and other local governments that receive Community Development Block Grant funding to create and maintain a publicly searchable online database of all undeveloped land they own. The database must be available on a public website so anyone can look up vacant government-held land. This requirement would take effect on October 1, 2026.
The bill directly affects local governments across the country that receive CDBG funding. Residents, housing developers, nonprofit organizations, and researchers who want to find or propose uses for publicly owned vacant land would also be affected.
Information about government-owned undeveloped land is currently spread across different offices and difficult to locate. A single searchable database would consolidate that information into one publicly accessible place.
