Focus Ireland said they have a concern with the consistent increase as Covid-19 reaches high numbers once again.
The organisation is worried the crisis will continue with high rents and evictions across the country.
Focus Ireland said it is vital that 'no fault' eviction measures are introduced to protect tenants from buy to let properties where the landlord is selling up
"September figures also report a total of 1,005 families with 2,344 children homeless, a significant increase of 52 families and 155 children homeless when compared to the previous month." they added.
