This seems to be something people don’t always give second thought to. When people talk about the homeless, the first things thought about are images of people on busy city streets in rusty clothes waiting around near allies. In there, the answer is quite static, because it can be I guess. But if that’s the case, change the setting and that changes too. In the places where I’ve lived, people often needed that mapped out. Where are they known in your rural locales?

Mental health problems by any chance? He may need more help than family can provide if you want him to get back on his feet (and out the door).

It would be a good sign if he seems like he wants to get his own place again, even if he's not able to make steps towards it.

Source: I'd probably be in the same boat if the laws and property upkeep rules were stricter here. Even so, I'd be wanting to get out of family accommodation ASAP. My family are good people, but I can't spend long periods with them. There might be a hint or two in that somewhere.

(But whatever you do, please don't fail to be kind.)

Almost definitely. According to my mom, she referred him to the same neurologist who diagnosed my ADD when I was kid and she prescribed him ritalin. But apparently he didn't like how it made him feel "too focused" or something like that.
