47 people accessed emergency accommodation in County Wicklow last month, as figures nationwide reach a new record high.
Over 10,500 people were living in hotels and B&Bs across the country in July.
The previous peak in the state was in October 2019, however with the Covid-19 pandemic extra supports and beds were put in place to ensure that people were taken out of emergency accommodation.
Despite being a slight rise from last month - it's a very significant increase - 10,568 people in Ireland are registered as homeless and living in homeless accommodation.
The number of children growing up in hotels and B&Bs has increased by 2 per cent in the past month - it now stands at 3,137, which is the highest number of children in the situation since the start of the pandemic in March 2020.
Housing Minister Darragh O'Brien hasn't commented on today's report.
The total from the Department of Housing does not include rough sleepers, women in refuge centres, those in Direct Provision or Ukrainian refugees.
