Hailing from Hatfield, Pennsylvania, USA, Leland Brown Jr. and Breanna caused a stir by preferring the term “houselessness” over “homelessness.” They argue that “houselessness is a flex,” emphasizing the survival skills they’ve honed in their unorthodox living conditions.
Responses to their statements have been varied, with some applauding their autonomy while others cast doubt on the sustainability of their chosen lifestyle.
In an effort to support their minimalist way of life and prioritize time with Leland Jr.’s son, the couple launched a GoFundMe campaign. However, their fundraising efforts have fallen short, raising only $162 of their $10,000 goal thus far.
The circumstances leading to the couple’s homelessness remain murky, with conflicting reports about their past and present situations. While older videos depict Leland working at various jobs and living in a house, recent statements suggest a reluctance to pursue traditional employment.
Critics question the sincerity of their choices, suggesting that their lifestyle may be more about avoiding responsibility than genuinely embracing homelessness by choice.
