These figures include individuals accessing state funded emergency homeless accommodation across Ireland. People who are rough sleeping, living in squats, living in domestic violence refuges or those who are hidden homeless are not included in the figures. People who seek International Protection are also not captured in this data.

The data is compiled monthly and published during the last full working week of the following month. It offers regional and county-level insights.

The rising number of people who are homeless highlight the intensifying demand for emergency accommodation amidst a worsening housing crisis in Ireland.

As we approach budget 2026, we urge government to ensure that the supply of housing, provision of homeless accommodation and broad-ranging prevention measures are sufficiently resourced, so address the crisis at the scale that is required.
