The data in the Department of Housing's latest report doesn't cover the hidden homeless according to the Simon Community.
The Midlands Simon community is welcoming a small decline in the number of homeless people in the region, but is warning it's not representative of the true figures.
The data released by the Department of Housing doesn't include asylum seekers, refugees, women in refuge centres, rough sleepers or the so-called hidden homeless.
The number of adults reported as homeless in the region has decreased by 11% since March.
Ber Grogan Executive Director of Simon Communities of Ireland says the number of people in difficulty is much greater than the report suggests:
