Our Dashboard Products
Pick what fits. Run them together for a complete CoC reporting stack.
CAD
Community Analysis
Go beyond the headline numbers. CAD takes your HUD APR export out of HMIS and lays out the figures that matter, demographics, length of stay, returns to homelessness, and sub-population breakdowns, aggregated and ready to read. A static report, not a filter tool. Built for the people who answer the follow-up questions in board meetings and funder reviews.
- Powered by HUD APR (HMIS)
- HUD 2026 Data Standards compatible
- For CoCs, agencies, and individual projects
CPD
Community Performance
Every System Performance Measure and submeasure your CoC reports to HUD, visualized year-over-year (whichever HDX 2.0 submission is most recently released, alongside the year before it). The numbers that normally come back as a spreadsheet you have to scroll through, here you can see in one glance where the system is improving and where it is slipping.
- Powered by CoC data out of HDX 2.0
- For Continuums of Care
- Includes all SPMs and submeasures
CSD
Community Snapshot
The view your community wants on the front page of your CoC website. At least a year of your HMIS data: inflow vs. outflow, sub-population highlights, and how each moves over time. Filter on up to three populations at once and change the date range on the fly to answer the question being asked. Public-facing by design, no HMIS login necessary. The dashboard handles ad-hoc questions on its own from a hashed export, so the HMIS team isn't tied up running the same one-off reports and can spend their time on the work only they can do.
- Powered by hashed HUD CSV out of HMIS
- Filter by date, population, race, projects
- Includes vulnerable populations
CED
Community Equity
Pick any two race groups on the left and right and let the dashboard tell you where the system has work to do. CED runs a z-test on every key metric and surfaces a red hazard icon wherever the disparity is statistically significant. Built from the same hashed HUD CSV that powers CSD.
- Side-by-side race comparison, your choice
- z-test analysis with significance flagging
- Cuts: homeless, children, chronic, veterans
Custom
Custom Dashboards
Sometimes the right answer isn't an off-the-shelf product. Custom dashboards are built around your data, whatever spreadsheet, database, or API it lives in. You update the source, you let us know, we refresh, and your dashboard reflects the new data the same day.
- Built around your data, not the other way around
- Refreshes on demand, not on a fixed cadence
- Coordinated entry, 211, custom KPI rollups, anything
NHPD
National Homeless Performance
A free public benchmarking tool. Look up any Continuum of Care in the country and see how its System Performance Measures compare to others its size. Built on HUD-published System Performance Measures data, no HMIS access needed.
- Built on HUD-published SPM data
- Compare any CoC to peers by size
- All six System Performance Measures

A Few Words
About Gaither Dynamic
Founded in 2019 by Gaither Stephens. Gaither spent five years (2016 to 2021) inside the work in Charlotte County, Florida, first as Data Analyst and Systems Administrator at the Charlotte County Homeless Coalition (the local direct-services provider), then as Chief Technology Officer at Gulf Coast Partnership (the CoC and HMIS lead for FL-602, spun out of the Coalition to remove the conflict of interest of holding direct services, CoC lead, and HMIS lead under one roof). He ran Gaither Dynamic alongside the CTO role for the first two years before taking it full-time in 2021. Across the five years he pulled the community's HMIS data quality from Fs to As, co-built coordinated entry from a blank page, ran the Point-in-Time Count end to end, owned every federal report (LSA, PIT, HIC), and helped the community reach functional zero for veterans in 2017 and for chronically homeless populations in 2021.
That experience made one thing obvious. The story your community needs is already in your HMIS data. It just lives in spreadsheets nobody has time to read. Twelve monthly numbers in a column can hide a dip or a spike that a chart shows in one second. Gaither Dynamic exists to close that gap.
Seven years and 300+ dashboards later, we still build every product ourselves for Continuums of Care, agencies, and local governments across the United States. Every dashboard is held to one test: can the person who needs the answer find it without help? If not, it is not done.
Based in Port Charlotte, Florida. Built to HUD 2026 Data Standards. Quietly powering the kind of dashboards that help communities see exactly where their work is making a difference, identify gaps in services, and focus resources to reduce homelessness.

Gaither Stephens to Present Two Sessions at the 2026 PCHO Conference
I am returning to Person Centered Housing Options this fall. I will be presenting two 75-minute sessions at their annual conference, The Cost of Inaction: Who Pays the Price?, held October 6 and 7 at the RIT Inn and Conference Center in Henrietta, New York, just outside Rochester. The keynote this year is India Walton, the Buffalo nurse and organizer who unseated a four-term incumbent in the 2021 Democratic primary for mayor and who now works on policy for the poor and working class as a senior strategist with RootsAction. She talks about the intersections of health, racial, economic, and…

Take a Break: Tell Me If These Charts Are Any Good
Adapted from the August 2026 issue of my newsletter. Sign up to get the next one by email. This issue is a break. The work we do around homelessness is heavy, and most of what lands in this newsletter is deadlines, rules, and data problems. Not this month. This month I just want to show you some things you may or may not like, and let you say so. Here is how this field usually works: someone hands you a dashboard, fully finished, and nobody ever asked whether it made sense to you, whether you could read it, or whether…

Housing Decisions and HUD Data Should Show Their Work
Adapted from the July 2026 issue of my newsletter. Sign up to get the next one by email. Late July heat is still sitting on much of the country, and for people living outside it remains one of the most immediate dangers on the calendar. What may have changed is what is on your desk: the FY2026 Continuum of Care Program competition is due August 26, following one of the most consequential rewrites of the competition rules in more than a decade, and most of the field is spending this exact month buried in it. So this post is different.…

Two Free Tools: System Performance and LSA Data Quality Consoles
We just shipped two free, public tools for HMIS data people. System Performance console (syspm.gaitherdyn.com): upload a hashed HUD CSV export, pick any reporting year (calendar or federal fiscal), and get your System Performance Measures as a printable annual summary. Then click into any measure to see the data errors distorting it, ranked by how much they hurt. LSA data quality console (lsa.gaitherdyn.com): the same workflow pointed at the Longitudinal System Analysis: the household, move-in, destination, and demographic problems that make LSA submissions bounce. What makes these different from the reports you already have: A data quality score with a…

Homelessness Fell in 2025. It Vindicates Neither Side.
Homelessness fell for the first time in nearly a decade, and both sides rushed to claim it. The real story is stranger, and more useful: a migration surge receding and a quiet success no one is citing. Underneath both is a single fight, over whether to keep funding Housing First, that the new federal rules are trying to end. 745,652 people counted, January 2025 −3.4% first decline since 2016 93 / 170 communities where it rose 97,000 tenancies at risk (NAEH estimate) The short version The count fell, but most places got worse.
