Creates a dashboard for local governments to display housing and homelessness data.

The bill mandates the Department of Commerce to develop a computer application for cities and counties to create dashboards displaying housing-related data. This includes estimates of needed housing units, housing assistance expenditures, and the number of homeless individuals needing medical treatment for addictions. The dashboard will also show the number of homeless encampments near schools and child care centers, and the total amount spent on cleaning up garbage from unsheltered communities. The Department of Commerce must coordinate with various state associations to implement this tool.
