Answer
The biannual Northern Ireland Homelessness Bulletin April - September 2025 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-2025.
Section 3 provides data on households in temporary accommodation including current placements by banded length of stay and accommodation type (Table 3.5).
I am unable to provide this information by Council area although Table 3.2A details the number of placements by Council area.
