Although certain individuals have expressed their endorsement of the couple’s autonomy, others have exhibited skepticism regarding their decisions. The couple, who candidly document their tent life on social media, prefer to identify as “houseless” instead of homeless, emphasizing the survival skills they have cultivated in their nontraditional living circumstances.
Nevertheless, the adoption of the term “houselessness” and the decision to eschew conventional employment have elicited skepticism from critics. Some individuals question the authenticity of their decisions, proposing that their way of life is more indicative of a desire to evade responsibility rather than a deliberate choice to embrace homelessness.
In pursuit of financial stability and to focus on spending quality time with Leland Jr.’s son, the couple has initiated a GoFundMe campaign. Regrettably, they have only succeeded in raising $162 of their $10,000 target to date.
