SLEEPING rough is the popular term for the homeless in NSW and when it comes to Western Sydney, Parramatta is by far the most popular place to settle down for a night without shelter. A head count by the Department of communities and Justice showed 39 people were sleeping rough in Parramatta in February, compared to 32 last year, but down from 94 in 2020. Cumberland had three, down from seven and Blacktown had just four, down from eight. Penrith LGA also had four, down from 10.
