150. Deputy Catherine Murphy asked the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government the number of persons and households that presented as homeless and were not placed in emergency and-or temporary accommodation due to lack of supply on a quarterly basis by county in each of the years 2015 and 2016 and to date in 2017; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23766/17]
View answerOfficial homeless reports are published on my Department's website on a monthly basis and can be accessed using the following link: http://www.housing.gov.ie/housing/homelessness/other/homelessness-data.
These reports are based on data provided by housing authorities and produced through the Pathway Accommodation & Support System (PASS). These reports capture details of individuals utilising State-funded emergency accommodation arrangements that are overseen by housing authorities.
The specific data sought in the Question is not available in my Department, and is a matter for the relevant housing authorities.
