A public good from Gaither Dynamic + the CoC Alliance.

What NHPD does

Comparable. Transparent. Free forever.

Every CoC, side by side

All 400+ Continuums of Care. Same measures, same definitions, same time period. Real comparison, finally.

Free + public, no login

No subscription. No paywall. No 'request access' form. The data is yours. We just made it usable.

HUD-derived, transparent

Every number cites its source: AHAR, PIT, HIC, APR aggregates. Click through to the underlying data.

Per-capita normalization

Big city vs. small county? Per-capita rates make comparison fair. Census-aligned populations.

Trend over a decade

Long-run series. See which communities are gaining, which are losing, and at what rate.

Researcher-friendly

Bulk data download. Stable methodology page. Citation widget. Built for academic + journalistic use.

Who it's for

Anyone who needs the national picture.

NHPD exists because comparing CoCs used to require months of cleaning HUD data by hand. Now it takes a click.

  • Researchers + academics
  • Journalists covering homelessness
  • Advocates building national campaigns
  • Federal + state policy staff
  • Funders comparing where to invest
  • CoCs that want to see how they stack up

Why we built it

Better data, more accountability, fewer people on the street. That sequence only works if everyone can see the data.
