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

These reports are based on data provided by housing authorities and are produced through the Pathway Accommodation & Support System (PASS).  These reports capture details of individuals utilising State-funded emergency accommodation arrangements that are overseen by housing authorities.  

As details on dependents are only collected by my Department on a regional basis, the specific data sought by the Deputy is not available from my Department and is a matter for the relevant housing authority.
