Hey all, 

Big news for civic data standards. Today, San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee, Code for America, and a coalition of industry and government partners announced the House Facts Data Standard at the US Conference of Mayors convening in Las Vegas. This uniform, machine-readable, data format amounts to an open health and safety history of every house and apartment within participating municipalities. 

That's welcome news to the 36 million Americans who will move house this year and the 6 million families living in sub-standard housing right now. Get the whole story in this blog post , grab the SF data here, or look up your favorite house in SF with this nifty viewer created by the CfA team.

Already we have seen an impressive commitment from 6 other municipalities to the standard:  Olathe, KS, Kansas City, MO, Las Vegas, NV, Bayside, WI, Bloomington, IN, Gary, IN. Please use the tools below to help this standard scale to other cities and counties.

Join a live Q&A session w/ House Facts partners to learn more about implementation of the standard this Thursday, June 27 from 12:30 PM to 1:00 PM (PDT). RSVP Here
