Warren County has a homeless problem which has risen steadily the past three years, according to Upper Cumberland Human Resource Agency local director Kim Luton.Luton said her agency has placed 17 families in rental housing over the past four months. That’s in addition to people who have been placed in homeless shelters.“The 17 families are just the ones we’ve worked with to find permanent housing,” said Luton. “It doesn’t include all the people we’ve placed in shelters in Tullahoma, Cookeville, Murfreesboro and in a couple cases Nashville.”Luton said the local UCHRA office has seen five separate homeless cases in one week.
