Funding in respect of homeless services is provided on a regional basis.  During 2016, my Department recouped over €68.6 million to the Dublin Region housing authorities, while payments exceeding €23.7 million have been recouped to date in 2017. 

With regard to the number of homeless persons, 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 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.  The specific data sought in the Question is not available in my Department, and is a matter for the relevant housing authority.
