My Department’s role in relation to homelessness involves the provision of a national framework of policy, legislation and funding to underpin the role of housing authorities in addressing homelessness at local level.  Statutory responsibility in relation to the provision of homeless accommodation rests with individual housing authorities.  Therefore, operational issues, including the procurement of services, are a matter for the individual housing authorities and no direct payments are made by my Department to the providers of emergency accommodation.
