I’ve been homeless for about 7 years. I’ve been learning to code over the last year or so. It’s difficult, but I’m getting pretty good now (http://teamtreehouse.com/marcuspierce, https://www.codecademy.com/users/marcuspierce/achievements, http://www.freecodecamp.com/marcussioux). We’ll see if it actually translates into a job — -there is a lot more to being able to hold down a job, after one has been homeless for a long time.
