My Department publishes a monthly report on homelessness. The monthly report is based on data provided by housing authorities and produced through the Pathway Accommodation & Support System (PASS), and captures details of individuals utilising State-funded emergency accommodation arrangements that are overseen by housing authorities.

The most recent report for May 2020 showed that in the Dublin region, there were 4,164 adults and 2,065 associated dependents accessing emergency accommodation. The monthly reports are available on my Department’s website at the following link: .

The administration of homeless services is organised on a regional basis. As part of the funding arrangements in place, each region provides my Department with a quarterly performance report which includes details of the number of adults exiting homelessness in that quarter. The exits from homelessness for the Dublin Region for each year from 2015 to 2019 are set out in the table below.
