This homeless duo's choice to forgo conventional jobs in favor of a tent-based lifestyle has stirred up debate and garnered criticism from many quarters.
The couple, famous for chronicling their tent life, argue, "From our viewpoint, homelessness isn't necessarily a negative thing."
Their opinions, broadcasted to their 178,000 TikTok followers, have sparked intense discussion, prompting many to challenge their perspective on living on the streets.
Leland Brown Jr. and Breanna, from Hatfield, Pennsylvania, USA, caused a commotion when they voiced a preference for the term "houselessness" over "homelessness." In a video from their tent, they laid out their rationale, asserting that "houselessness is a statement" and showcasing the survival skills they've developed in their unique living situation.

Their comments elicited a variety of reactions; some lauded their independence, while others cast doubt on their lifestyle decisions.
In the midst of the controversy, Leland and Breanna initiated a GoFundMe initiative to back their minimalist lifestyle, aiming for financial stability while prioritizing time with Leland Jr.'s child. To date, they've only garnered $162 of their $10,000 target.
The specifics of how the couple ended up homeless remain murky, with conflicting narratives about their past and current situations. While older content shows Leland employed at various places and even residing in a home, recent updates suggest they're hesitant to seek out traditional jobs.
The pair insists they're not eager to find employment, asserting they're "too savvy" for such pursuits.
