>> 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
