National Alliance to End Homelessness Publishes Interactive Map with State by State Data on Homelessness


The National Alliance to End Homelessness, an implementing partner for Funders Together, has published the new edition of Homelessness Counts, documenting changes in homelessness populations from 2005 to 2007, looking more closely at changes at the state level and among subpopulations.

Features of this report include:
  • Comprehensive reporting in maps and tables of changes in chronic, family, unsheltered, and total homelessness at the national, state and community (CoC) level.
  • Identification of the states and communities with the highest and lowest levels of homelessness (by subpopulation) and the largest changes in homelessness.
  • An interactive, online map that features state profiles of homelessness characteristics, changes in homelessness from 2005 to 2007, and the economic indicators (unemployment, poverty, housing affordability) most closely associated with homelessness.
