    is he homeless and jobless?
    If so then he should look to emergency housing from the council
  • Even though he is homeless, the council may not have a duty to house him as it depends on other things too.

    Sorry, can't help with how long crisis loans take except it should be days rather than weeks. Does he have evidence that he has been offered a rented place?
