KY To Mark Homeless Awareness Week FRANKFORT, KY (wuky) - This year's homeless count, which was interrupted by January's ice storm, still located nearly six thousand homeless persons in Kentucky. Another 68-hundred individuals are precariously housed - facing eviction, living in substandard housing conditions, or staying with family and friends. The numbers concern First Lady Jane Beshear. "And on a day like today, when we can gather to shine a bit of light on a tremendous problem of hunger and homeless, then this is a job and a day that is very important."



Mrs. Beshear backed up her words by helping prepare and serve lunch at a homeless shelter in Frankfort. Gov. Beshear is declaring November 15-21 Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week in Kentucky.
