The number of HAP properties is at a record low, sparking fears that yet more people will fall into homelessness.
Just 27 homes are available for those who use the Housing Assistance Payment, according to a Simon Communities latest survey - the lowest figure since its records began eight years ago.
Half of the areas had zero HAP properties available.
These include the Galway City Suburbs area, as well as Sligo Town, Leitrim, and the City Suburbs and Centres of Cork and Limerick.
