NSW: Young homeless a worry - Bashir
New South Wales Governor MARIE BASHIR says she's worried about the growing number ofyoung homeless people on the state's streets.
She's told the launch of National Homeless Week in Sydney the fact there are homelesspeople at all means something is wrong in society.
Figures provided by homeless charity RecLink estimate the number of homeless peoplenationwide at about 110,000.
A former medical professional, Professor BASHIR says many homeless people suffer frommental illnesses and more should be done to assist organisations who help fight the problem.
About 1,000 of Sydney's homeless people will mark National Homeless Week this weekby exhibiting their art and releasing a collection of poems.
National Homeless Persons Week runs from August the 4th to the 15th.
