from
the
facility.

According
to
Complex,
Leland
Brown
Jr.
uploaded
a
video
of
himself
and
his
partner
illegally
residing
in
a
storage
unit.
The
content
creator
began
documenting
his
life
last
March
on
TikTok
as
he
struggled
to
find
adequate
housing.
Initially,
the
couple
was
dwelling
in
a
tent
in
the
woods
in
Hatfield,
Pennsylvania,
about
30
miles
north
of
Philly.
Brown
gave
insight
into
their
unfortunate
circumstances
on
his
GoFundMe
page,
“For
1
year
my
partner
and
I
have
been
making
a
home
in
the
woods,
facing
the
uncertainties
that
come
with
this
lifestyle.”
He
continued,
“Ongoing
construction
projects
are
forcing
us
to
relocate,
adding
another
layer
of
complexity
to
our
situation.”
The
couple
eventually
moved
to
a
self-storage
unit
and
Leland
shared
in
the
now
viral
video,
“I
live
in
a
storage
unit
because
it’s
cheap
in
comparison
to
an
apartment.”
In
another
vid
he
stated,
“Me
and
my
girl
testing,
we
trying
to
figure
out
if
this
is
good
enough
to
be
sneaky
and
hide
and
stuff.
We’re
trying
to
hide
this
s**t.”
Leland
made
his
new
living
quarters
as
comfortable
as
possible,
adding
furnishings,
including
a
couch
and
a
dresser.
He
explained
to
his
followers
that
he
was
“grateful”
to
be
out
of
the
elements
and
living
“comfortably”
in
the
climate-controlled
building.
Brown
demonstrated
how
he
exercised,
used
the
restroom,
and
cooked
meals.
In
addition,
the
pair
had
24-hour
access
to
the
unit
and
the
ability
to
charge
their
electronic
devices.
“Me
and
my
baby
will
live
here
as
long
as
we
need
to
until
we
can
get
the
shelter
that
we
want,”
Brown
said.
“Because
we’re
living
here,
now
we
can
save
up
more
money
to
get
what
we
really
want.
We’re
in
it
for
the
long
haul”.
When
management
stumbled
upon
the
viral
video,
they
forced
the
houseless
couple
to
stop
shacking
up
in
the
business.
“So
we
got
kicked
out
of
our
storage
unit,”
Brown
shared
with
his
followers,
adding,
“So
the
higher-ups
found
out
about
my
video.
It
went
so
viral
—
we
ended
up
getting
kicked
out.
We’re
trying
to
figure
out
where
to
go
and
what
to
do
with
all
of
our
stuff.”
He
continued,
“We’re
gonna
have
to
get
a
new
storage
unit.
So,
yeah.
We
got
kicked
out,”
Storage
facilities
are
required
by
law
to
remove
any
individuals
they
find
living
within
a
unit
and
to
maintain
most
insurance
policies.
Brown
expressed
how
“there
was
so
much
uncertainty”
because
he
and
his
girlfriend
had
no
idea
where
they
would
live.
“Now
all
we
have
is
a
tent
and
it’s
freezing
cold
outside,”
he
shared
with
a
defeated
tone.
In
Leland’s
latest
update,
he
shared
a
“lady
[who]
helps
homeless
people”
paid
for
them
to
stay
in
a
hotel
for
a
couple
of
nights
for
free.
He
stated,
“I’m
just
grateful
that
somebody
is
thinking
of
us
like
that
on
that
level
and
willing
to
give
us
their
resources
like
that.
We’re
gonna
have
a
good
time
and
relax
for
once.”
The
two
seemed
to
be
in
good
spirits
as
they
prepared
to
eat
food
purchased
with
money
the
mystery
woman
donated.
The
father
of
one
works
at
a
hotel.
In
a
previous
video,
he
shared
plans
to
save
enough
cash
for
permanent
housing.
“The
next
goal
is
to
get
an
RV–
next
goal
after
that
is
to
get
a
tiny
home.”
Brown
stated
that
he
shared
their
storage
unit
living
experience
to
help
others
who
may
find
themselves
homeless.
But
some
secrets
are
better
kept
under
wraps
until
you
can
no
longer
be
affected.
Anyone
thinking
about
doing
something
similar
—
just
keep
the
video
in
your
drafts.
Wishing
the
two
much
luck
as
they
journey
out
of
homelessness.
