Advocate Uses Online Tools to Share Stories of the Homeless

Mark Horvath, who has become a prominent online advocate for homeless people using new-media and social-media tools, is profiled by the Los Angeles Times.

Mr. Horvath, a recovering alcoholic who lived on the streets for several months in 1995, posts stories, photos, and videos on Twitter, the storytelling site Whrrl and his own blog, mixing his commentary with direct, often raw testimony from the homeless about their lives.
