The Lexington City Council has been given a presentation detailing concerns about the city's homeless, particularly related to school children. It included a reference to a much higher number of homeless compared to the local federally-directed wintertime count.
This year’s LexCount in January resulted in 815 persons living without permanent housing. In her appearance before Council, Community Action Center Board Member Laura Babbage said a community-organized effort revealed more than 24 hundred homeless.
