Abstract
Parramatta is widely recognised as Sydney's second Central Business District (CBD) and the economic capital of Western Sydney, Australia's fastest growing region. Alongside this economic and population growth has been an increase in the number of people experiencing homelessness in Parramatta. A street count conducted in 2010 identified 81 rough sleepers and an additional 285 people in emergency accommodation in the Parramatta Local Government Area (LGA)
