NSW’s annual street count recorded 2,192 rough sleepers, up 8% from 2024. The largest increases were seen in Sydney, Inverell, Nambucca, Sutherland Shire, and Parramatta. Homelessness NSW warns services are overwhelming and unable to help all in need. CEO Dominique Rowe urges urgent investment in social housing and increased funding for support services. Nearly 68,000 people sought help last year, with many turned away, while over 64,000 households remain on the social housing waitlist.
