About

SanJoseHomeless.org is a blog that endeavors to create a forum for real conversations on homelessness in San Jose and Santa Clara County.  All regular contributors to SanJoseHomeless.org work with the homeless on a daily basis, or are homeless themselves.  Our hope is to engage in a conversation based in the daily reality of those living in poverty.  Check back often, as our list of contributors will grow by the week!

Angela Bymaster, M.D.
I am a doctor who has worked with homeless people in San Jose for the past 5 1/2 years.  The purpose of this blog is to share the things I and others have learned about homelessness, on both a microscopic and macroscopic scale.  My hope is that with a better understanding of the homeless, we as a community can bring greater dignity to our outdoor citizens and prevent many from experiencing homelessness in the first place.

Libby Echeverria, LCSW

I am a licensed clinical social worker and have worked with the homeless in Santa Clara County for 7 years.  I attended Stanford University and received a Masters in Social Work from San Jose State University.
