There has been a very slight drop in the number of people who are registered as homeless.
Figures just released by the Department of Housing, Planning & Local Government show 10,253 people were living in emergency accommodation last month.
That's 125 fewer people than the month before.
The government is, however, once again being called on to change the way it's managing the housing crisis.
Labour's Housing Spokesperson, Jan O'Sullivan, says more council and affordable homes need to built now.
"In a country like Ireland which is relatively well off, the idea that we have more than 10,000 people homeless is completely unacceptable."
St Vincent De Paul CEO Kerry Anthony said the slight decrease in the homeless figures is welcome.
"However, we must remember we are coming from a place where we have seen the highest figures ever recorded. We have been here before where figures have gone down only to go up again dramatically. We must not get complacent in our efforts.
“We know from recent research in to those accessing our emergency services that some of the people presenting are students who, when faced with the prospect of homelessness ceased engagement with their education. This is a stark example of how homelessness affects lives."
