Don't listen to anyone who'd shame you for not letting him sleep under your house. As soon as you let him sleep under your house, they'd be accusing you of not letting him sleep on your couch. And after that, they'd accuse you of not letting him have your bed while *you* sleep on the couch. Yeah, a perfect person would, but you're not perfect and never set yourself up as such. Don't let them discourage you out of doing anything to help that man at all. Just do what you can bring yourself to do, be patient with yourself, learn to wrestle with that desire to do more - and do what you do cheerfully. It's no use competing at do-gooding, you won't win. No good deed of yours will suffice to 'prove' you a righteous person, you're not Jesus, so don't pretend to be, and then nobody can call you out. We're all battling selfish instinct, even those who point fingers - and do you reckon that they would jump at the chance of having a homeless guy sleep under *their* house? Do what you can out of joy not guilt. Anyone who accuses you of not doing more is probably just as stingy as you - or else they'll have some other vice.
Ratman was shaming him for that. Also didn't you read the reason he gave? It was because of the word count. And he probably just said 'homeless piece of trash, whatever' because he felt aggravated by the repeated accusations. Sometimes caving in and confirming people's judgments to 'let them win' is the only way of keeping them quiet.

No one is shaming him/her for that. Calling a human being a "homeless" is fucking offensive as hell.
