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 most recently published data is in respect of January 2022. There were 2,563 dependant children associated with families in emergency accommodation nationally during the January count week.

All homeless data from January 2019 to date are also published on the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform's open data portal at: data.gov.ie/.
