Anthony Ruffin carries on Mollie Lowery's outreach to Hollywood's homeless
The portrait of Anthony Ruffin, a tireless Los Angeles case manager, who continues Mollie Lowery's work with chronically ill, mentally unstable homeless residents. He visits 20 plus clients daily, including the Hollywood 14, often in dangerous conditions, seeking housing, care, and conservatorships as authorities debate interventions. Ruffin recalls his troubled path, his father’s homelessness, and how a 32nd birthday vote sparked his new life.
