Memo to the movement: Advance to Zero Database Update
26 March 2026
This update provides partners and stakeholders with an overview of the transition to the new Advance to Zero (AtoZ) database, why the transition has taken longer than anticipated, and the work currently underway to resolve these challenges.
Reliable data plays a critical role in supporting service coordination, advocacy and system improvement. Public dashboards and shared datasets help demonstrate progress toward ending homelessness, and it is important that the information released is accurate, trusted and reflective of what is happening on the ground.
This memo forms part of a series of updates on the AtoZ database transition. Further updates will be provided as this work progresses and will be available under Latest News, as well as on our Memos to the Movement page.
