I met this guy named bob. He's 31 and homeless. Sleeping at the skate park..so i took him in for the night. He does have ssi but pays most domestic relations.

What i need help with is does anyone know some outlets i could call? Or any ideas on trying to help this guy? Hes just down on his luck.

SSI is for people with disabilities and in most states child support cannot touch therse benefits.Low income housing would be a good start,but if hes on ssi the man has a case worker.
