AI Initiative to Prevent Homelessness from Catastrophe

Los Angeles County has launched an innovative program utilizing artificial intelligence (AI) to proactively address homelessness. The county’s Homelessness Prevention Unit employs predictive analytics to identify individuals at high risk of losing their housing. By analyzing data on health and social services usage, the AI model enables early intervention through tailored case management and financial assistance. This proactive approach has resulted in approximately 87% of participants maintaining their housing, showcasing AI’s potential to enhance community well-being by preventing homelessness before it occurs.
