The latest figures revealed that 14,429 individuals are now living in emergency accommodation, marking a seventh consecutive month of rising homelessness in Ireland.
The Department of Housing has cautioned that current statistics may be underreported, as new data collection methods have just been initiated by local authorities.
Almost 60% of families experiencing homelessness are single-parent families, with a significant concentration of these families located in Dublin.
The leading cause of homelessness was found to be relationship breakdowns, which resulted in 395 households losing their homes.
