How to help a friend who's going homeless?

by

I have a local friend who's alcoholic father told him to leave the house by the end of this month.
He's looking for a job currently, the thing is I am worried about what would he do if he doesn't find a job or a place to live.
I told him he can stay at my house for a short time as an emergency solution if the month ends and he doesn't have a place to sleep, but I can't honestly mantain him in my house longer because I live with my mother (and I'm sure she won't like him be there for a long time)
I would like to know what to do to help him, I can't offer him money because I have big debts to pay for, I'm in a tight spot...
I can't give him much of my free time because of my work schedule, but I can offer some...
I wonder if I'm missing a good idea I could use to solve this.

i was in a similar situation and nearly homeless myself. there isnt much to do. you can try to find a safe homeless shelter or hostel but ultimately there arent many options. i wish i had better advice but the best i can do is reccomend signing him up for websites like monster.com or trying local temp agencys to see if they will help

honestly, you should talk to your mom, try to convince her into letting him stay so he can at least help around the house with bills or he can get enough money to live on his own and rent an apartment or condo. I'm pretty sure your mom would likely appreciate him helping with bills and stuff.

Thanks :) Yeah, my mother actually needs some help in the house and she's willing to pay (though, to be honest it wouldn't be a high payment) and my friend is willing to do that job too, the issue is actually him living there at my house, we do have a guest room, but family tend to come visit us and stay on that room... so he would definitely be able to live there for a little while (I'm guessing just 1 month) but after that I don't know what would happen.
I would definitely have to talk with my mother about all this, but knowing her, I'm almost sure I must have a plan b.
