I propose to take Questions Nos. 149 and 152 together.

Official homeless reports are published on my Department's website and can be accessed using the following link:.

These reports are based on data provided by housing authorities and produced through the Pathway Accommodation & Support System (PASS), the single integrated national data information system on State-funded emergency accommodation arrangements overseen by housing authorities. 

These reports are published on a monthly basis capturing details of individuals utilising State-funded emergency accommodation arrangements that are overseen by housing authorities and include a county level breakdown of the homeless adult population.  Reports for the entire of 2016 and up to March 2017 are currently available.
