This report contains summary information on accompanied and unaccompanied children in the Supported Accommodation and Assistance Program (SAAP) and is drawn from a more detailed bulletin on this topic ('Homeless children in SAAP 2004-05'). SAAP is a major part of Australia's overall response to homelessness and represents a broader social safety net designed to help people in crisis in the community.
