A movement to end homelessness is underway. Thousands of stakeholders—policymakers, advocates, researchers, practitioners, former and current homeless people, community leaders, and concerned citizens—from across the country are involved in efforts to end homelessness at the local and national level. On this webpage you can download reports on homelessness related studies conducted by the National Alliance to End Homelessness.

How will we know if these efforts are successful? This report lays the groundwork for measuring efforts to end homelessness by establishing a baseline number of homeless people from which to monitor trends in homelessness. We use local point-in-time counts of homeless people to create an estimate of the number of homeless people nationwide.
