Ricky Brown with his grandson Zaire Gearring outside of their home in Los Angeles, Calif. Brown is a new client in an LA program that uses AI to help people from falling into homelessness.
Grace Widyatmadja/NPROne of the main challenges to countering homelessness is to figure out who's most at-risk of losing their homes and getting them the resources they need.
