The program uses AI to help predict who is most likely to become homeless - and it's a first in the US, according to the county. ABC7's Rob Hayes breaks down how it works - and how it's helping those in need.
It's hard to escape the influence of artificial intelligence in our daily lives, but can AI help solve the homeless crisis in Los Angeles?
But what are the odds that call from the county came right as Bey was close to becoming homeless again.The foundation of this work is based on a predictive analytics tool created the California Policy Lab at UCLA ., they use data from various county systems and CPL helps predict which county service recipients are at the highest risk for homelessness.
"Everything from who enrolls in food assistance, to who's in the emergency department or who has treatment for substance use or public mental health services," said CPL Executive Director Janey Rountree. "Artificial intelligence is a really new and emerging field, and I think we're focused on how that type of science can really help people and help the county serve people who are experiencing homelessness.
"If we can invest a few thousand dollars earlier on in people's lives rather than letting them fall in and trying to get them back into housing, it's a much more cost-effective strategy," said Vanderford.
