i have a friend that is homeless and he has little food,water,and worst of all little money. He has no roof ova his head at all so he walks around at night to kill time. He moved from up north down here and can't go bak up cuz he hasn't got a home or job up there either. He's applied for jobs in the city and elsewhere but noone will take him cuz he hasn't got a residential address but he cant get an address til he has money. I'm really worried and scared for him, can anyone help at all!?

Why can you not take him in and help him find a job? Or at least let him yuse your address for his residence so that he may get a job?

If he is your friend, why you yourself didn't take he to leave with you for a while. Then help him finding a job. Maybe after 1 or 2 month he can find his own home.

it is not your responsibility to take care of him, if he is homeless, he should have gotten a job before he became homeless, as bad as it sounds it is his own fault and he will deal with it. it's ok to help some but i was just like him and i had to hit rock bottom on my way to prison before i straightened up.

I do think you are right. If he really cares then he would offer him a place at his own house for awhile. I wish we would know why he was not letting him stay at his house.
Please rate my post

I agree. You should help you friend to the best of your ability until he can get on his feet.

"A friend in need, is a friend indeed"
You call this person a friend but you are not helping him?
Why not let him use your address when he applies for assistance or even a job?
You seem to know him quite well...or at least it appears that way.
God will reward you for your help, so do all you can to help him then you will become a true friend. Who knows you may need help from him later.
If you can not help... send him to the Salvation Army or to the nearest Church.
There is help for everyone they have only to seek and they will find.
May God bless,

This type of discussion is difficult to join until the place of residence of the initiator of discussion is not known .

take one day of your time and help him go job searching or something like that.

Just providing a 'home address' for job applications will help him massively if you aren't in a position to allow him to stay.

shouldn't he stay with you. if he is lucky enough to have a friend like you. and help him find a job, he really needs you right now.

I can help you find him a homeless shelter that will provide a bed for him to sleep in and I can look for soup kitchens so he can have food to eat. Where do you live?
