H.R. 6773 — Databases of Publicly Owned Land Act

This section requires Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) grantees—i.e., metropolitan cities, urban counties, states, units of general local government, and insular areas—to maintain a publicly accessible website with a searchable database identifying all parcels of undeveloped land owned by the grantee, as a new certification prerequisite to receiving funds, effective October 1, 2026. (Thus, the change enhances public transparency regarding grantee-owned land potentially available for community development activities benefiting low- and moderate-income persons.)
