NTA, he’s one in multiple ways. Your family urgently needs a place to stay, you have room and that there are kids involved is even more reason to help them out. Denying help you could easily provide is bad enough in itself. Him going back on his word when you did *more* for his mother when it wasn’t even *half* as urgent is putting this in a territory to reconsider the relationship: Does he usually have your back? Is he making empty promises a lot? Do his (/his family’s) needs often trump yours?
