Marion County is just one of 15 counties across the country to participate in the annual survey of 5,000 people.

The survey was sent to seniors in eight Indiana counties, and compares findings with the group's last report in 2013.

It's called a point-in-time count, a one-time survey of the homeless population meant to inform the city on how many people might require services on any given day.

A new report on the homeless population in Marion County shows early signs of an increase in young people experiencing homelessness.

A survey this year revealed 89 youth experiencing homelessness in Indianapolis. But the group that conducted that survey says the real number might be much higher.
