I live in CA. Took in a homeless guy my son’s age. Met him in church, recently discharged from the Army,seemed like he needed a hand up, to get back into civilian life. I required he be sober. Landed two part time jobs,and he started paying room and board. Also went on to meth use. Got hauled off by the cops during a meltdown in my driveway, and headbutted a deputy. When he got out,I paid him $500 to evict himself. I was extremely fortunate that he accepted the offer.
You dodged a bullet, maybe in more ways than one
