Homelessness has become a global issue that has steadily increased over the past four years, per National Alliance to End Homelessness. While the organization does recognize some are more at risk than others to become homeless, it can affect anyone. According to the UK tabloid The Mirror in 2014, it seemed one person dealing with homelessness was Josh Brolin’s brother, Jess Brolin.
The Mirror claimed that Jess had been living in an apartment in Ojai, California until things changed for him in 2011. According to the outlet, Jess had to pay 800 dollars a month for rent but when his funds ran dry Jess was evicted from the apartment, left to figure out what to do next. The Mirror alleges at that point he ended up on the streets of California.

Several celebrities have had to endure the struggle of homelessness. According to one UK newspaper, this is what Jess Brolin went through. The Mirror reported, “He will sometimes be sleeping in a field behind shops, basically wherever he can bed down.” Apparently, a source close to Jess told the outlet how much he’s changed. They shared, “Looking at him you wouldn’t realize he is part of one of the biggest, most successful showbiz families in the world.” However, fame and fortune don’t dictate the struggles one may be facing internally.
