Can't go too much into it, but years ago my friend had to go live elsewhere and ended up running back to our area, he had spells in some of our houses from time to time, he would come round mine for a bath and food when the parents were out, or a load of us would camp out together so he wasn't on his own. Hard to explain to a parent "don't tell anyone he's here" so it wasn't like we had the option of a roof to offer..

Loads aren't so lucky, some don't have family, others have one but something horrible has happened, some may have one but due to a mental illness not feel they can ask for help (if that makes sense, it does as I type it but may not to read it)
It makes perfect sense mate , good on you for helping out your friend

Mental illness, family breakdown , domestic violence , loss of a job , the need for safe housing could happen to any of us at any time
