Over 14,400 people across the country accessed emergency accommodation in August.
There's been a decrease in the number of people in homelessness in the midlands.
It's the first time the figure has gone down in the region since April this year.
188 people were without permanent accommodation in the region in August, according to new figures from the Department of Housing.
The figure represents a first decrease in the midlands, following three successive months of rising homelessness.
140 adults accessed emergency accommodation in the region last month - 71 of those were in Westmeath, while the figure in Offaly was 45, and 24 in Laois.
48 children were also registered as homeless in August.
Nationally, 14,429 people were without permanent accommodation last month - that's the highest figure on record.
While just over 4,400 children were registered as homeless in that time frame.
The figures released by the Department of Housing do not include refugees, asylum seekers, women in refuge centres or rough sleepers.
