This dashboard is an interactive, regularly updated federal legislative tracker focused on bills and policy actions that affect community revitalization. It organizes key information on proposals in Congress—such as bill status, sponsors, subject area, and key provisions—so you can quickly understand what’s moving in federal policy and how it may impact local work on vacant property, housing, economic development, and neighborhood stability.

This tool is designed to help state and local policymakers and practitioners monitor relevant legislation and strategically inform your local advocacy and communication efforts with federal representatives. Use it to stay informed about the direction of federal policy, identify opportunities to advance specific priorities, and understand how each bill would impact your community if enacted.
