AB  - This publication presents the first official Australian Bureau of  Statistics estimates of the prevalence of homelessness, developed using  data from the 2001 and 2006 ABS Censuses of Population and Housing. 

Homelessness is not just the result of too few houses. Its causes are many and varied. Domestic violence, a shortage of affordable housing, unemployment, mental illness, family breakdown and drug and alcohol abuse all contribute to the level of homelessness in Australia.
Homelessness is not a choice.
