Each year, millions of families across the country are faced with eviction or foreclosure. These forced displacements splinter communities, have adverse impacts on health, economic mobility, and education, and can trap families in cycles of housing instability. And yet, we know very little about eviction and foreclosure.

Developed by New America’s Future of Land and Housing program and DataKind, the Foreclosure and Eviction Analysis Tool allows users to understand where housing loss is most acute, when during the year housing loss is occurring, and who is most impacted. Municipal leaders, researchers, and community-based organizations have used FEAT to produce analysis about evictions and foreclosures that informs policies, programs and intervention strategies to improve housing security in their communities.
