Some 193 people are living in emergency homeless accommodation in Kildare, during the week of 21-27 November 2022.
A record of 11,542 people are living in emergency homeless accommodation.
Figures from the Department of Housing show the total has increased by 26% in a year.
The figures are usually released at the end of each month, but November's total was delayed because of Christmas.
