About this tool
The Good Neighbors Nowcast shows, community by community, how long people stay homeless in shelter, how many people are counted as homeless, and how many years of income it takes to buy a home. Results are organized by Continuum of Care, with state-level summaries. It helps readers compare housing affordability pressure and homelessness across places.
