I would begin with calling Social Services. They have knowledge of resources that could be utilized to help this man, whether it be mental health programs or help with substance abuse or whatever his issue may be.
That way, you would be helping him without possibly putting yourself and your family in danger.
Do not bring him into your house. All you know about him is what he has told you and he could be dangerous.

I so agree. This is how Elizabeth Smart was kidnapped.
Do what Giovanna says. Also see if he can get into a alcohol rehab to kick the habit. Remember however he has to want to. Usually the Salvation Army knows of these organizations and how to help people like this. Sometimes they even give them jobs around the church if they just show up and do it. I’ve seen it.
Very good advice! Along with calling the local social service office, try Lutheran Social services, or any place that houses the homeless. Even if they can't personally help, they will guide you. I worked for a non profit social service agency, and we kept phone numbers on hand to help these kinds of people. I also did some personal networking to find blankets, furnishings, and etc., for them. Along the way, there sometimes someone who had all the right answers.
I agree with the part about contacting your county social services agency. They have the resources to help him.
Do not bring him to your house.
