64. you could check to see if there are any programs at work
to help those that need it. We have a couple different resources where I work, one is funded by employees who choose to donate 1 dollar from every paycheck. There are thousands of employees at the company I work for. The other sources are internal fund drives...like wear jeans to work for 5 bucks and all money raised goes to help the employee in need. One of the guys that I have been working with for 3 years had been jumping from friends houses, to sleeping in his car in the parking lot at night. I have become pretty good friends with him and matched him up with another employee who needed an apartment. We then held an internal fundraiser, and got them both into an apartment about 2 weeks ago.

Hope my experience with this helped you out or at least gave you some ideas to help your co-worker.
