Youth Homelessness in Australia 2006 is the first report from Counting The Homeless 2006. This project is a national data collection funded by the Australian Government in partnership with all state and territory governments.
The project has been coordinated by the Homelessness Taskforce Branch in the Department of Families, Housing, Community Services and Indigenous Affairs (FaHCSIA) who put in a great deal of effort to establish Counting The Homeless 2006 as a fully supported national project. The 2006 data collection follows the earlier work on the ABS Census data in 2001.
