Results of Ky. homeless count announced

Submitted by Steve Pobst on Wednesday, May 22nd, 10:55 am

Kentucky (KFVS) - Kentucky Housing Corporation (KHC) recently released the results of the 2013 K-Count, a count of homeless Kentuckians in the Balance of State (118 counties outside of Fayette and Jefferson).

The count, conducted on January 30, 2013, identified 2,392 homeless men, women, and children. The number of homeless persons has been declining since 2008 when 4,027 homeless were counted.

The decrease may be attributed to the success of an American Recovery and Reinvestment Act program called Kentucky’s Housing and Emergency Assistance Reaching The Homeless (KY HEARTH).
