A new report by NPR showcases how the sprawling city of Los Angeles, where the issue of homelessness continues to escalate despite massive efforts and investments, is experimenting with AI to predict and prevent homelessness.
The report begins with the story of Dulce Volantin and Valarie Zayas, two individuals who had overcome challenges and found love after meeting in prison. Their journey, however, took a difficult turn when Dulce’s mental health struggles led to hospitalizations, and they lost their home.
