Hundreds of homeless teenagers are turned away from refuges every year in NSW, due to a lack of beds.
Welfare groups say despite the Federal Government plan to halve homelessness by 2020, insufficient resources, means “roughing it” is the only option for some older children.
In a trend that is worrying youth advocates, more and more are being told to find another place to stay.
