N2 - The aims of the current study were: 1. To inform the development of a strategic approach to homelessness in Parramatta by Parramatta City Council and other agencies. 2. To explore the actual and potential impact of homelessness on local business and economic development, and, 3. To contribute to innovative approaches to understanding and measuring homelessness in urban localities. The study was the first to collect and analyse primary data concerning the incidence and experience of homeless people in Parramatta. This involved a census (street count) of homeless people in the LGA, both rough sleepers and those in temporary and crisis accommodation; in-depth interviews with homeless people; plus survey and qualitative research involving local businesses. This study links detailed understanding of the extent and experience of homelessness in Parramatta with an exploration of the impact of the issue on the local business environment by gathering data on the perception and understanding of the issue among the local business community.
