• We read official pages and trusted lists: county and city websites, state agencies, Feeding America, the Legal Services Corporation and community action networks.
• A research file counts only when it passes the same checks it must pass to reach Front Door. A file with a problem waits until it is fixed.
• Every service and organization names the page it came from and the day we read it.
• We rebuild the files with every release of Front Door. The API reads only these files, never our live database.

Each HSDS table, how many rows it has, and the fields we fill in. The free sample has the same fields.
