If homeless refer to community services. If bad schedule, help him plan one. If no power refer to health department grants.
Personally, I'd give the kid a bath and wash his clothes upon arrival, then schedule the conference for this afternoon. The issue is rarely what you think it is.
I definitely know he isn’t homeless, dad lives right down the road in a super tiny but clean looking apartment complex. I think maybe it might be that he’s just clueless. Or maybe doesn’t think it’s noticeable to me. This am I put all of his clothes in the washer and gave him a fresh outfit. Since I’m not keeping him I don’t mind washing his stuff I suppose. I’ve just never smelled anything like this before! If he was going to be staying with me I think I’d have to grow a bigger backbone and tell him I can’t keep him because the smell is so awful.
