Statutory responsibility in relation to the provision of accommodation and related services for homeless persons rests with individual housing authorities. My Department does not fund any service directly but provides funding to housing authorities on a regional basis as a contribution towards costs incurred. The purposes for which housing authorities may incur expenditure in addressing homelessness are prescribed in Section 10 of the Housing Act 1988.

Details of the funding provided by housing authorities for the years 2013 to 2017 to the main non-governmental organisations towards the operational costs of homeless accommodation and related services are set out in the table. These service providers may also receive other funding from other Government departments and agencies.
