My Department publishes a monthly report on homelessness. The monthly report is based on data provided by housing authorities and produced through the Pathway Accommodation & Support System (PASS). The report captures details of individuals utilising State-funded emergency accommodation arrangements that are overseen by housing authorities. Official homeless reports are published on my Department's website on a monthly basis and can be accessed using the following link: www.housing.gov.ie/housing/homelessness/other/homelessness-data.
These reports do not contain data relating to when a person registered as homeless. While these monthly reports include a breakdown of adults at county level, details in relation to dependants are only available on a regional level in my Department; however, further information in relation to dependants may be obtained from individual housing authorities.
The following table sets out the numbers of adults and dependants in emergency accommodation in April 2019, the most recent month for which data is available.
