Doctors, nurses, and social workers are fanning out on the streets of Los Angeles to provide health care and social services to homeless people.
The strategy: Build trust with homeless people to deliver medicine wherever they are -- and make money doing it.
An estimated 181,000 people were homeless in California in 2023 -- about 30% of the nation's total.
Street medicine teams are in demand, largely because of growing public frustration with homelessness.
They're tapping into billions of dollars in Medicaid money that states and federal government are spending to treat homeless people in the field.
" Medicaid is never going to pay high margins, so you have to think about how to sustain things," a former Medicaid director says.
