If he has no money to afford rent or a home, than he is considered homeless even if his family takes him in. Many people who do not own houses are not homeless, they just rent. The guys in our local shelter, they're homeless. My friend who has no money for rent and is living with her mom is technical homeless because her mother could kick her out at any moment.

Talk to a social worker. I did. That's how I found out that my son, living in my home, is, according to the law, homeless. He's not paying rent, he has no way of affording rent, he's homeless.
But he is fed, clothed, and sheltered? By definition, that is not homeless.
