Making sense of homelessness
Insights and tools for understanding
Lunous builds a data visualization platform to help communities create a shared vision and pathway to the future.
We collect, standardize, and align public and shared housing and homelessness data into a common framework that communities can actually use.
Tools for decision makers
We bring fragmented data together
By connecting data on population, housing supply, affordability, and homelessness, we reveal patterns that no single dataset can show on its own.
More than data, a catalyst for collective impact
We help communities align around shared data so collective action becomes possible.
The Affordable Housing Insights Hub
The Affordable Housing Insights Hub brings together housing and homelessness data from across agencies, and visualizes it to unlock the power of that data for policy makers and the communities they serve. By organizing public data into a shared structure, the Hub helps communities move beyond isolated statistics and toward a clearer understanding of housing supply, demand, and affordability.
At Lunous, we approach homelessness as a complex systemic issue requiring multifaceted solutions.
We manage the Affordable housing insights hub, a systems that explains the interconnected factor that contribute to housing insecurity.
A systems view of homelessness
We look at homelessness in relation to housing availability, affordability, income, and policy — recognizing that no single factor explains why homelessness rises or falls in a community.
Housing as the core constraint
While personal challenges matter, our analysis centers on housing conditions, because they consistently shape how many people experience homelessness and how long they remain unhoused.
Evidence-based approaches
Research-backed strategies for addressing homelessness.
We're working toward a future where homelessness is rare, brief, and non-recurring through systemic change and community empowerment.
Strengthening housing and homelessness data by working across agencies and communities to fill gaps, align definitions, and improve accuracy over time.
More powerful insights
Better data sources
Continuously improving analysis and visual tools as data evolves, so insights stay relevant, transparent, and grounded in real conditions.
Scenario modeling
Tests how proposed interventions may change housing availability, affordability, and homelessness outcomes over time.
