From U.S. Census Bureau FAQ:

Q: How do I obtain permission to reprint data that appears on the construction web site?

A: The housing starts and building permits data are public information. We ask that if you use our data, you cite the U.S. Census Bureau as the source of information. Another option would be to add a link from your website to ours. This would ensure that you have the most recent data available.
