Explain this situation to them, and find out if there are any advocacy groups in your friend's area who may be able to provide help from non-derelict volunteers.

Reports will have to be filed, and I don't know how badly understaffed this agency is since I'm next door in Nevada. Hopefully the county your friend is in will have people who are on the ball and can help with a quick and satisfactory solution to this.

But short of sending Guido and Vito over to "pay some people a little visit," this is you and your friend's first legal step.
