My ex brother in law lived with each since Jun of 2017 . Can I claim him as a dependent since I feed him and but a roof over his head.?

Maybe.
Here is the criteria for claiming an adult as a dependent:
· You provided more than half of their support.
· They made less than $4,150 in gross taxable income.
· They lived with you for the entire year.
· They are not a dependent on someone else’s taxes.
· They are not filing a joint return with someone else.
· They are a U.S. citizen, resident alien, national, or a Canadian or Mexican resident.
