The official homelessness data reports provided by housing authorities are produced using the Pathway Accommodation & Support System (PASS), the single integrated national data information system on the State-funded emergency accommodation arrangements that are overseen by housing authorities.

My Department is currently exploring with housing authorities whether the functionality of PASS can be enhanced to produce data such as that outlined in the Question.
