The official homelessness data provided by housing authorities are produced through the Pathway Accommodation and Support System (PASS). These data capture details of individuals and households utilising State-funded emergency accommodation arrangements that are overseen by housing authorities. Quarterly reports from lead housing authorities are published on my Department's website as soon as these are available. In addition, lead housing authorities provide monthly reports on homelessness which identify the number of people utilising State-funded emergency accommodation on a regional and county basis and also broken down by the number of families and dependents; my Department collates this information into monthly homeless reports. The specific data sought in the Question are not available in my Department. However, both the quarterly and monthly reports are available on my Department’s website at the following link: .
