HB1193: The Maryland Housing Data Transparency Act requires counties with more than 150,000 residents to share housing data with the Maryland Department of Planning (MDP), including data on housing type, location, construction costs, and timeframes. It also allows for municipalities to voluntarily report this information. MDP will then make this information centrally and easily accessible to all on an interactive and searchable website. Stakeholders (residents, advocates, builders, etc.) can then better understand Maryland's housing needs and be equipped to propose informed, data-driven solutions that can be implemented with a broad coalition of support.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
