My Department produces reports on a monthly basis capturing details of individuals utilising State-funded emergency accommodation arrangements. These reports are based on data provided by housing authorities and produced through the Pathway Accommodation & Support System (PASS). These official homelessness reports are published on my Department's website and can be accessed at the following link:
