Our Dashboard Products
Pick what fits. Run them together for a complete CoC reporting stack.
CAD
Community Analysis
Go beyond the headline numbers. CAD turns your HMIS into a working analytic surface: demographics, length of stay, returns to homelessness, and sub-population breakdowns. Built for the people who answer the follow-up questions in board meetings and funder reviews.
- Powered by HUD APR (HMIS)
- HUD 2026 Data Standards compatible
- For CoCs, agencies, and individual projects
CPD
Community Performance
Every System Performance Measure and submeasure your CoC reports to HUD, visualized year-over-year (whichever HDX 2.0 submission is most recently released, alongside the year before it). The numbers that normally come back as a spreadsheet you have to scroll through, here you can see in one glance where the system is improving and where it is slipping.
- Powered by CoC data out of HDX 2.0
- For Continuums of Care
- Includes all SPMs and submeasures
CSD
Community Snapshot
The view your community wants on the front page of your CoC website. Today's count, inflow vs. outflow, sub-population highlights. Filter on up to three populations at once and change the date range on the fly to answer the question being asked. Public-facing by design, no HMIS login necessary. The dashboard handles ad-hoc questions on its own from a hashed export, so the HMIS team isn't tied up running the same one-off reports and can spend their time on the work only they can do.
- Powered by hashed HUD CSV out of HMIS
- Filter by date, population, race, projects
- Includes vulnerable populations
CED
Community Equity
Pick any two race groups on the left and right and let the dashboard tell you where the system has work to do. CED runs a z-test on every key metric and surfaces a red hazard icon wherever the disparity is statistically significant. Built from the same hashed HUD CSV that powers CSD.
- Side-by-side race comparison, your choice
- z-test analysis with significance flagging
- Cuts: homeless, children, chronic, veterans
Custom
Custom Dashboards
Sometimes the right answer isn't an off-the-shelf product. Custom dashboards are built around your data, whatever spreadsheet, database, or API it lives in. You update the source, you let us know, we refresh, and your dashboard reflects the new data the same day.
- Built around your data, not the other way around
- Refreshes on demand, not on a fixed cadence
- Coordinated entry, 211, custom KPI rollups, anything
NHPD
National Homeless Performance
A free public benchmarking tool. Look up any Continuum of Care in the country and see how its System Performance Measures compare to others its size. Built on HUD-published System Performance Measures data, no HMIS access needed.
- Built on HUD-published SPM data
- Compare any CoC to peers by size
- All six System Performance Measures

A Few Words
About Gaither Dynamic
Founded in 2019 by Gaither Stephens. Gaither spent five years (2016 to 2021) inside the work in Charlotte County, Florida, first as Data Analyst and Systems Administrator at the Charlotte County Homeless Coalition (the local direct-services provider), then as Chief Technology Officer at Gulf Coast Partnership (the CoC and HMIS lead for FL-602, spun out of the Coalition to remove the conflict of interest of holding direct services, CoC lead, and HMIS lead under one roof). He ran Gaither Dynamic alongside the CTO role for the first two years before taking it full-time in 2021. Across the five years he pulled the community's HMIS data quality from Fs to As, co-built coordinated entry from a blank page, ran the Point-in-Time Count end to end, owned every federal report (LSA, PIT, HIC), and helped the community reach functional zero for veterans in 2017 and for chronically homeless populations in 2021.
That experience made one thing obvious. The story your community needs is already in your HMIS data. It just lives in spreadsheets nobody has time to read. Twelve monthly numbers in a column can hide a dip or a spike that a chart shows in one second. Gaither Dynamic exists to close that gap.
Seven years and 300+ dashboards later, we still build every product ourselves for Continuums of Care, agencies, and local governments across the United States. Every dashboard is held to one test: can the person who needs the answer find it without help? If not, it is not done.
Based in Port Charlotte, Florida. Built to HUD 2026 Data Standards. Quietly powering the kind of dashboards that help communities see exactly where their work is making a difference, identify gaps in services, and focus resources to reduce homelessness.

CEO Gaither Stephens to keynote 2027 Kansas Summit to End Homelessness
I'm honored to share that I'll be serving as a keynote speaker at the 2027 Kansas Summit to End Homelessness, April 20 to 22 at the DoubleTree Hilton in Overland Park, Kansas City. We'll be diving into some of the biggest challenges facing homelessness response systems today: Upstream drivers of homelessness, the underlying conditions that push people into housing crisis in the first place. Prevention and system inflow, intervening before people enter the homeless response system. Built for Zero and system flow concepts, applying proven frameworks to move people through the system efficiently. Public narratives around homelessness, how the stories…

How America Cut Homelessness in Half
Between 2010 and 2024, the United States cut homelessness more than in half for one specific population while the rate for everyone else went up. The population that fell is veterans. The population that did not is the rest of the country. The argument is not really about which intervention works. The interventions are well studied. The argument is about who we have decided to help. Once that is settled, almost everything else is downstream. This piece walks through what the veteran trajectory actually proves: the funded portfolio (HUD-VASH, SSVF, GPD), the case management ratios, the wraparound stack, and what…

Homeless Newsletter April 2026
Open the newsletter → April. The temperature climbs. The encampments that were hard to ignore in February slip back behind buildings, into bus stations, into the spaces nobody takes a photo of. The crisis does not thaw. The visibility does. The big number we report once a year is just the puddle that became visible. The drip upstream has been going the whole time. We have built a national accountability system that assigns responsibility to the only actors without the power to change the outcome. We drew the system boundary around the last place people land, not the systems that…

Gaither Dynamic at the CSH Technology Convening
Earlier this year, as CEO of Gaither Dynamic, I joined a small group of supportive housing leaders, HMIS experts, and technology partners at a CSH-hosted working convening on how AI and digital tools are shaping the field. CSH has now published the summary of that conversation as the inaugural post in its new Tech Corner series, and thanked the participants. Gaither Dynamic is on the list: Read the CSH Tech Corner convening summary→ On the back of that work, CSH has also opened a grant opportunity for the field.

Homeless Newsletter March 2026
Open the newsletter → Spring is here, and with it comes a shift. The winter headlines about overcrowded shelters and people freezing on the streets will fade. The temperatures rise, the tents become less visible, and the public moves on. But the people don't. They're still out there. The crisis doesn't thaw with the snow. I've spent the last several months building something I believe this field desperately needs, and this newsletter is where I'm going to walk you through it. But before I show you what I built, I want to make sure we're all starting from the same…

What If We’re Measuring Homelessness Wrong?
We count people experiencing homelessness once a year and wonder why the numbers never change. But what if the count itself is the wrong metric? In my new article, I break down why the Point-in-Time Count is a photograph of a river, it shows you the water level, not whether it’s moving. Communities house people every single day. And every single day, new people fall in. The question isn’t “why isn’t it zero?” It’s “how responsive is the system?” If we want different results, we need different design.
