National Data
The National Survey of Programs and Services for Homeless Families takes a crucial step towards exposing the reality of poverty and homelessness across the nation. This resource guide presents national and local demographic data, including economic and social indicators of wellbeing, and maps the federal allocation of funds that specifically target homelessness. It enables users to draw connections and comparisons between different states' experiences tackling family homelessness.
The National Survey opens its dialogue about poverty and homelessness with maps of general and childhood poverty rates in the United States. Subsequent maps of federal grants for homelessness are presented along with tables providing calculations of each homeless family's share of given awards. The National Survey tracks all funding sources allocated by the federal government that are specifically targeted, at least in part, to serve the homeless population. The figures posted here are the most recent numbers available. Please see the Definitions section for a more complete description of each federal grant.
