The official monthly homelessness data report published by my Department is compiled from information provided by housing authorities and produced via the Pathway Accommodation and Support System (PASS), the single integrated national data information system on State-funded emergency accommodation arrangements overseen by housing authorities. These reports are published on my Department's website as soon as they are available and can be accessed using the following link: www.housing.gov.ie/housing/homelessness/other/homelessness-data.

These reports do not capture details of individuals utilising temporary accommodation that is not overseen by housing authorities, such as clients of domestic violence refuges. Any relevant data compilation and management in relation to those clients are a matter for Tusla.
