SAN FRANCISCO (AP/CBS13) — A new California data warehouse system unveiled Wednesday should help policymakers better understand and address the issue of homelessness in a state that has the most unhoused people in the country, officials said.

With the WNBA draft on Thursday, Michaela Onyenwere has set herself up to be the first Colorado player to be a first-round pick. But it took the Aurora native and Grandview alum two eurekas to see her true potential. Once she did, the UCLA star realized what everyone around her already knew — Onyenwere hasn’t even touched her basketball ceiling. “I honestly didn’t even understand I was good enough to go to college on a basketball scholarship until I was like a junior in high school,” Onyenwere said. “That was a pretty late realization, and then it was a similar realization after my sophomore year at UCLA in terms of going pro — like okay, I can make this work, I can do this.
