He has lived in Portland, in Los Angeles under a bridge with The Trolls (a group of homeless street kids), in what is called, The Hole in Seattle and until September of 2011 he lived in Tent City 3, also in Seattle, for three years. Matt expresses his thoughts and struggles with being homeless, stigmas and feeling forgotten, as well as his lifelong battles with 11 types of cancers.
