摘要：On census night in 2001 there were close to 27 000 homeless people in New South Wales (NSW). Almost 25% of these people were young people between 12 and 18 years old. The rate of homelessness was higher for Aboriginal people than non-Aboriginal people, and higher in coastal, and rural and remote areas of NSW than in Sydney. Within Sydney, the rate of inner-city homelessness was six times higher than in the outer suburbs.1
