10,172 people were registered as homeless last month, according to the latest government figures.
That's a drop of 81 when compared to May, and the second consecutive month in which the figures have dropped.
Here's the breakdown of the adults how accessed emergency accommodation:
Over the course of June, 3,675 children accessed homeless services.
The number has dropped for the third month in a row.
Housing Minister Eoghan Murphy says more needs to be done to bring the numbers down even further:
This is the 3rd month in a row that the number of children in emergency accommodation has fallen. The number of families & children in EA is now lower than this time last year.
But there is still a lot more work to do and we will provide 10,000 new social homes this year.

CEO of Inner City Helping Homeless Anthony Flynn has welcomed the drop in the numbers of people reporting as homeless.
However, he says "the real figure stands a lot higher than 10,172 as we don’t count rough sleepers, direct provision, families in women’s aid shelters or people couch surfing unlike other countries".
