Maybe. Depends on why they're homeless, whether they agree with my philosophies on keeping house and will obey my rules, and if they can stand sleeping on my stinky old couch! Says it all... Depends on why they're homeless.

It is almost a knee-jerk response to say yes. And that is what my answer is, but with a qualification... Because I'm not rich and my own resources are limited already, they would have to be making a sincere effort to get back up on their feet, to becoming responsible once again for their own well-being. If that seemed to be taking too long, or at least long enough to begin taxing my ability to help them, I'd have to consider looking into other resources for them. I hope that doesn't sound harsh, but I only say it because I've been in this situation, and it wasn't with just a friend, it was a close family member. Helping her almost cost me my own home and my ability to provide for my children, who were still at home at the time. Sometimes, the desire to help isn't enough when the ones who need the help don't even want to help themselves.

homeless. Would you let them stay with you until they are back on their feet? Depends on who it is.

homeless. Would you let them stay with you until they are back on their feet? Absultely! What kind of friend would one be if they were not there for another? I would go to the ends of the earth to help out another, but with guidelines. If they were simply looking for a free ride...then we would have to talk...but if there is ambition to recover and regain...I would offer my house and support to make that happen.
