To ask the Minister for Communities to detail the (i) average; (ii) median; and (iii) longest number of days spent in temporary accommodation by households in the last ten financial years, including 2024-25, broken down by (a) Bespoke Facility of Temporary Accommodation; (b) Crash Dispersed Intensively Managed Emergency Accommodation; (c) Houses in Multiple Occupation; (d) Housing Association temporary accommodation; (e) single lets; (f) Dispersed Intensively Managed Emergency Accommodation; (g) voluntary sector hostels; (h) Housing Executive hostels; (i) hotel and bed and breakfast accommodation; and (j) all accommodation types.

Answer:

The biannual Northern Ireland Homelessness Bulletin April – September 2024, published on 12 December 2024, contains information on a range of areas relating to homelessness and is available at: https://www.communities-ni.gov.uk/publications/northern-ireland-homelessness-bulletin-april-september-2024

The accompanying tables at Section 3 contain details on temporary accommodation placements by banded length of stay and accommodation type; however, I am unable to provide a breakdown in the format you have requested.
