Older Brother problems....

My brother has always had a drinking problem he is almost 66 now....since his wife died in 2010 its got worse. I went several months without hearing from him so I thought maybe he got a job back in the oil field since he was let go in feb 2015. Its gone from bad to worse....I get a call on Jan 29th telling me he is homeless living in a Toyota Yaris! he is 6'4 275 pounds.....Working at a strip club in N.W. Houston.
Of course he wants money.....which would be the 3rd time ive had to bail him out. This time he wanted 5k and one of my cars ....for starters... I talked to my wife and we agreed he wanted to move in is impossible since he is a fithly slob and pee's all over floor and wall. I hated to be mean but if he moved in it would take the sheriff's dept to remove him. I called him told him we are having a bad time myself....which is lie. My house has been paid-off for years. I gave him 2500 and made it clear we cant help him anymore. Im sure he went straight to a strip club and got drunk. I want to help but know he would drain us down to zero in the bank .....get another loan on the house...and tear up my cars. We are not rich by any means....and have to watch our dollars since ive not worked in 11 years and live on wife's S.S. and small pension plus savings and small investments plus we have huge medical bills etc He sold his 2 Rolex watches a Lexus to get cash before asking me
Should I help him more knowing he is just a money pit?
