As outlined in the reply to Question Number 129 of 21 April 2016, my Department does not fund any homeless services directly, but provides funding to housing authorities, on a regional basis, towards the operational costs of homeless accommodation and related services in accordance with Section 10 of the Housing Act 1988. Under these funding arrangements, housing authorities must provide at least 10% of the cost of such services from their own resources. Details of the homeless accommodation and services funded by housing authorities are available in quarterly financial reports received from them and are published on my Department's website at the following link: .
