Settles Yes if the Department of Housing's monthly homelessness report for October 2026 shows more than 18,000 people, adults and children, in State-funded emergency accommodation. August set a record of 17,885, including 5,830 children, up 358 on July. Closes before the earliest day the October figure could come out (the August figure came out in late September). If the October report is not published by December 31, 2026, it settles No.

Closes 24 Nov 2026. Settled by Department of Housing homelessness data.
