An unusual way of life has caused quite a stir and drawn criticism to a homeless couple from Hatfield, Pennsylvania, USA. Famous TikTok users Leland Brown Jr. and Breanna have sparked a substantive discussion around homelessness by recording their tent existence.

Leland and Breanna state in a video that they would rather use the term “houselessness” than “homelessness.” “Houselessness is a flex” they say, highlighting the survival abilities they’ve developed despite their unusual living situation.

Some have praised their independence while others have voiced doubts about the wisdom of their lifestyle choices in response to their remarks. In the midst of the controversy, the couple started a GoFundMe to get out from under Leland Jr.’s financial burden and spend more time with his son.

Some question the couple’s sincerity because they have chosen to depend on contributions rather than conventional employment. Some have argued that their way of life is more about dodging accountability than voluntarily accepting homelessness.

Both supporters and detractors have taken an interest in the couple’s plight, even though details about how they became homeless are still sketchy. They have created a platform for meaningful conversations on homelessness and cultural expectations, which has attracted over 178,000 TikTok followers.
