He has a house but was damaged by hurricane Michael and cannot afford to repair the house. So he asked me if I knew could he sell out and buy a house boat to live on. Supplemental security income!
He has a personal loan payment to family that loaned him money for repairs and cannot keep up with the cost.

SSI doesn't matter where you live
It depends on how much assets he has.
If after selling his house, he ends up with more than $2K in assets, he is not going to remain on SSI.

If he can afford it, why not?

SSI limits the amount of assets you can have.
* On roughly $800.00 a month how can he possibly afford to maintain a houseboat ?
