Leland Brown Jr. and Breanna are a homeless couple from Hatfield, Pennsylvania. Their choice to live on the streets is against the norm. They have a big following on TikTok because they live in tents, which has both respect and skepticism.
The couple likes the word “houseless” better than “homeless,” which shows how clever and skilled they are at surviving. But critics question their sincerity, saying they might be trying to dodge responsibility instead of really wanting to live an unusual life.
Leland and Breanna chose not to get regular jobs because they want to be financially stable and spend more time with Leland’s son. They set up a GoFundMe page to support their way of life, but so far it has only raised $162 of the $10,000 they were hoping to get.
Different stories say different things about their past, so it’s still not clear what happened. Older videos show Leland working and living in a house, but newer comments show that he doesn’t want to work a normal job.
The unusual path this couple is taking brings up important questions: Is their way of life a brave defiance of social norms or a failure to accept responsibility?
