Homeless Count Goes Up



Stark County's homeless population is on the increase.  A newly-released survey from the Stark County Homeless Services Collaborative shows the number of people without a roof over their heads is 768.  The count was conducted last month.  That's up from 729 counted a year ago.  Officials cite the weak economy and recent layoffs for the uptick.
