<prompt> Human: A friend of ours is a combat veteran with bad PTSD. He lost his job back in March, got evicted last month, and has been living in his truck with 2 dogs. Hes been suicidal. He has requested help from the VA but they told him to take his dogs to the SPCA and check himself into a shelter. The dogs are the only thing he lives for currently.So, my wife and I told him he could stay at our condo until he gets back on his feet. Normally, the condo would rent for 1200mo. Im not trying to make money off of him, Im only trying to not swallow a 1200 pill every month.Is there any way I can write off the rent as a charitable donation? Or is there some other creative thing I can do to lower my cost?Thanks in advance!He isnt a 501c3 himself unfortunately. We dont expect this to be a long term situation. He has an appointment for a mental health evaluation tomorrow that will hopefully start him down the path of recovery. Well also be working on helping him file for disability and find work. I would see about renting him a room somewhere for less than my condo would rent for, but to be honest I cant swing the extra funds right now. If I had someone ready to move in to the condo that would be different. Also, location is Norfolk, VA. Thank you all for the kind words and advice!Edit - More Details  <response>: Not a charitable donation, but you may be able to claim him as a dependent.
