While this is commendable you need to understand that while providing a stable/safe environment for him you are only a temporary solution for a long term problem.
Requiring his parent to do what is best for him as her child (even if that means denying care for the day/week or even terminating) is a much better attempt at being part of the solution.
It's much like the old story about giving a man a fish and he eats for the day but teaching him how to fish and he will eat for a lifetime.
