Australia's biggest state has more than 70,000 homeless people, with older women the most at risk of not finding a roof over their heads, a NSW parliamentary report has found.

"It is increasingly older people, particularly older women, who are the 'face' of homelessness of NSW today," the report 'Homelessness amongst older people aged over 55 in NSW' said.
