Alcoholic mother living with teenage son

My sister is an alcoholic. In the past year she has lost her marriage, her house, and her job. After losing her house and job, she cashed out her retirement and told her 19 year old son he had to find himself someplace to live, that she was going to live by herself. He had to grow up fast. Works hard and supports himself in his own apartment. My sister has now ran through her money, lost her apartment and now is living with her son. She went through rehab a year ago, but now is drinking again. She has no money, no insurance. My nephew (now 20) gave her an ultimatum tonight. He said "you can't live here if you're drinking". She walked out the door. He called me...he doesn't know what to do. How does he put his mother out? How can he help her? She doesn't have any insurance. She does not want help now...but she is in his house. Would really appreciate help.

I live out of state and can only help from afar. He is all alone with her.
