Hi Kate, How have the address points been obtained? From OSM users? The Census Bureau has collected and created a national data set of them in preparation for the 2010 Census, but for non-disclosure reasons, they have no intention of releasing them to the public. The next possible public source of this type of information would be based on county assessor parcel data, but that is limited to those counties that have released their parcel data (although, counties that have released address ranged centerline street data also tend to be the same ones who released their parcel data).
