The official monthly homelessness data report published by my Department is compiled from information provided by housing authorities and produced via the Pathway Accommodation & Support System (PASS), the single integrated national data information system on State-funded emergency accommodation arrangements overseen by housing authorities. The 'family hubs' currently being delivered by housing authorities are categorised as supported temporary accommodation and accordingly the details of households accommodated in such arrangements will be reflected in the monthly reports published by my Department.

These reports are published on my Department's website as soon as they are available and can be accessed using the following link: .
