Hello, I also am a caregiver my youngest brother has a TBI, seizures, among other things. He lives with me and my husband the problem I have is my husband is abusive to my brother and tells me that I need to make a choice either him or my brother now my brother is living in the streets. I didn't throw him out and I have no say.

I am not sure of your state laws regarding abuse of the disabled and elderly (often anyone over 55) but this is clearly abuse. Do you have legal guardianship/conservatorship of brother? You may need to explore that and a General and Medical POA if you've not done so. Social services at county or state level may be the resources you need to get him housed. Is he on SSDI?
