In order to test some mapping and geocoding functionality, I'm looking for a free data source containing a few thousand US addresses, including latitude and longitude. I need them distributed among a number of states.

Try this one. It is HUD's dataset on inspection scores for multi-family dwellings providing subsidized housing. There are 20,000 addresses with lat/lon across the US.

Some time ago I came across this OpenAddresses project: OpenAddresses.io. Something like 215 million addresses available, broken down I believe by US state for the US ones.
