The Maine Office of Community Affairs, the Governor’s Office of Policy Innovation and the Future and MaineHousing are hosting a webinar, in coordination with HR&A Advisors, to reintroduce the State of Maine Housing Data Portal to municipalities, members of the public, and housing stakeholders. This webinar will provide an overview of the Portal, how it can be used by the public, and introduce the new housing production data.
This webinar will take place on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, from 10-11:30am. All are welcome to attend.
The State of Maine Housing Data Portal is an initiative of MaineHousing, the Maine Department of Economic and Community Development, the Maine Office of Community Affairs, and the Governor’s Office of Policy Innovation and the Future. The Portal was developed in 2024 by HR&A Advisors, Inc., in consultation with housing stakeholders from across Maine and with the authorization of the Legislature under P.L. 2021, ch. 672 (LD 2003). The Portal was updated in 2026.
The Portal is intended to:
- Monitor housing markets across Maine to broaden awareness and understanding of housing trends to inform discussions about housing policy across the state.
- Provide a central repository of housing and community data to aid efforts that address housing needs and maximize housing opportunities across Maine.
- Support communities with detailed housing, economic, and demographic data to inform development of local housing ordinances.
- Deliver an ongoing overview of Maine’s housing needs to complement the State of Maine Housing Production Needs Study.
