Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 21 March 2023
464. Deputy Patrick Costello asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the number of people currently in emergency accommodation, by each local authority, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13276/23]
View answerMy 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 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 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, NDP Delivery and Reform's open data portal data.gov.ie/.
