642. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the number of adults and children recorded on the pathway accommodation and support system, PASS, as in own door accommodation. [47189/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy 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 reports are collated on a regional basis and are published on my Department's website.
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. This information is further broken down into a number of categories of Adult Accommodation Type, namely Private Emergency Accommodation, Supported Temporary Accommodation, Temporary Emergency Accommodation and Other. My Department does not maintain records on categories of accommodation outside of this list.
