<prompt> Human: This post is not about me, its about my boyfriend. If I lived in the same country and had finished his education we are long distance this problem would be resolved easily as he would be able to stay with me my family, but thats not the case so Im asking for some advice on where to turn for more information or if anyone has any experience, specifically what to do in this case.To make a long story short, his mum has been threatening him shes gonna kick him out since he was 10 and now its finally happening. She also destroyed any possibility of him having a relationship with his father when she took him and left when he was a few months old. That obviously scarred his dad for life and caused him to not want to speak to him after my boyfriend reached out about 15 years later.His mum decided that shes moving house with her wife and theres no room for him anymore, so when he comes back from visiting me hes coming on Christmas eve, leaving January 7 his things will be on the street.He has nowhere to go, hes still in college he lives in Lancashire and has absolutely no money because everything he earns from his paper round either goes towards food and clothes, you know, things parents are for, or rent and wifi. In my opinion, 17 years of living with this sociopath has caused a lot of mental issues. One of them is not wanting to ask for help and refusing to look for better solutions. Im not sure what his reason is, but either way this is why Im the one writing this post and not him. Tl;dr - boyfriend 17 lives in Lancashire, UK is getting kicked out in 3 weeks and has nowhere to go and nothing but some clothes and a laptop. He has no money and has yet to finish college year and a half left. What to do next?Can he apply for some sort of free housing? If so, where?  <response>: He is a minor, his mother has a legal right to house him, failing this social services can take over for under 18s minors this gov website provides some useful links. Edit: he needs to start the ball rolling with this asap, it takes time to find places, when this happened to me I was moved miles away from my friends, college and anything I knew. So the quicker he applies for help the more time theyll have to find somewhere comfortably close to his current location.
