Tools

Tool	What it returns	Try asking
`get_state_assisted_living_licensing`	A state's assisted living licensing agency, license types (including dementia or memory care licenses), official program page and whether it publishes a downloadable facility list.	Who licenses assisted living facilities in Texas, and is there a memory care license?
`get_assisted_living_supply`	Licensed facilities and capacity from the state's own list where one is published, facilities with 20 or more beds, memory care capacity, and CDC survey estimates beside the US. Omit the state for US totals.	How many licensed assisted living beds are there in New York?
`get_hud_232_assisted_living_loans`	Active FHA-insured Section 232 assisted living loans for a state or the US: count, balance outstanding, median note rate, endorsements, and the loans themselves, filterable by name, type and minimum rate.	Which HUD 232 assisted living loans carry the highest interest rates right now?
`rank_states_assisted_living`	The 50 states and DC ranked on one measure: licensed capacity, CDC communities, beds or residents, or HUD 232 assisted living loans and dollars outstanding.	Which states have the most HUD 232 assisted living loan dollars outstanding?

Discovery file: /.well-known/mcp.json. For bulk use, the state table and the HUD loan file are free CSV and JSON downloads on Data downloads; the methodology explains each source.

License and attribution

HUD and CDC data are public domain. The compilation is CC BY 4.0: credit "Data: ALF Atlas (hudassistedliving.loan)" with a link. ALF Atlas is published by Janover Capital LLC and is not affiliated with HUD, FHA, CDC or any state agency. Nothing returned is licensing advice, a care referral or a loan offer.

Questions

Is there a cost or an API key?

No. The server is free, read-only and needs no key or sign-in. Please cite the ALF Atlas page or the primary source that comes back with each answer.

Where does the data come from?

The same records as the state pages: each state licensing agency's site and published facility list, CDC/NCHS National Post-acute and Long-term Care Study estimates (2020 is the latest wave with state figures), and HUD's active FHA insured mortgage file (as of September 30, 2026) with its healthcare endorsement database.

Can it tell me whether a specific facility is licensed?

No. The site keeps state totals, not facility-by-facility license records. For one facility's license status, use the state agency's own lookup, which the licensing tool links to.
