YSS of Marshall County, along with other area agencies, recently spread out around the area to attempt to get a count on the number of homeless folks. YSS Executive Director David Hicks says it’s part of a study where the results are sent on to the state.

Hicks says among the 22 folks surveyed, one person was found in an abandoned housel. The count is important for the agencies that try to assist the homeless when it comes to dollars received from the government and from grants.
