You also need to apply for SSI for him. THe way it sounds he will have a
very hard time handling a job or even getting his drivers license. So I
would apply for this too for him.
Also you might apply for a medicaid waiver if there is such a thing in
your state for mental illness. Some states have one. I am also not
sure but you might check into vocational rehabilation and a job coach,
they would also help with transportation for him to a job.
This way maybe you could get financial help for him to move into his
relatives housing and pay rent and his share of utilties. There are
some programs that do this.
And remember when you do the SSI that if he qualifies declare rent,
utilities and food allowances for him so he gets more.
