My Department publishes a monthly report on homelessness. The monthly report is based on data provided by housing authorities and produced through the Pathway Accommodation & Support System (PASS). The report captures details of individuals utilising State-funded emergency accommodation arrangements that are overseen by housing authorities and can be accessed at the following link: - www.housing.gov.ie/housing/homelessness/other/homelessness-data.
The table sets out the number of adults utilising State-funded emergency accommodation, including hotels, in Cork city and county in May 2017 and May 2018:
