86. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government if his Department's monthly homeless report includes all households in family-hub accommodation and all households in own-door transitional accommodation as recorded in the PASS system; and if not, the breakdown of the total number of households, with a further breakdown by household size, in family-hub accommodation and own-door transitional accommodation for the most recent date that were not included in the relevant monthly homeless report.

My Department currently publishes data on a monthly basis on the number of homeless persons accommodated in emergency accommodation funded and overseen by housing authorities. These reports are based on data provided by housing authorities, produced through the Pathway Accommodation & Support System (PASS). The reports are collated on a regional basis and are available on my Department's website at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/collection/80ea8-homelessness-data/ and are also published to the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform's open data portal data.gov.ie/

The monthly homelessness report includes details of individuals, families and the dependants of these families who accessed emergency accommodation during the relevant count week of the month in question. The report also includes information on the accommodation relating to adults in emergency accommodation. The categories included are: Private Emergency Accommodation; Supported Temporary Accommodation (including family hubs); Temporary Emergency Accommodation; and Other. My Department does not hold any other details on any other category of accommodation.
