Ms Michelle Murphy:

I do not have the exact figure to hand, but the increase in the budget reflects the increase in need. Two years ago, the homeless agency had a strategy and claimed that type of homelessness could be eliminated within 18 months. It cited a figure, although I do not have it to hand. Such an amount would not have solved the social housing and private rental issues, but it would have solved that. The figure is available. It has probably increased since then because the number of people in homelessness has increased.
