My Department publishes a detailed monthly report on homelessness, based on data provided by housing authorities. The Report outlines details of individuals utilising State-funded emergency accommodation arrangements that are overseen by housing authorities. The Reports are available on my Department's website at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/collection/80ea8-homelessness-data/

The more recent reports from January 2020 to date are also published on the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform's open data portal at: data.gov.ie/

Reporting on homelessness began in its current format with the introduction of the Pathway Accommodation & Support System (PASS) in 2014. My Department does not hold the details sought by the Deputy prior to this date.
