This is crazy. Basically this person is a stranger to you and you should not have to open up your place to him considering the risks you have already mentioned.
Your family members who want you to have him stay at your place can all chip in and pay for a hotel room for this person they care for so much. Not your problem.
As I have gotten older I have learned that saying "NO" is good for my mental health and is often the wise choice.

Glad to hear you took charge.
People seem to forget that just because someone is family doesn't mean they are a good person. I have had to distance myself from a family member for my own peace of mind. Some of my friends are better family to me than my own family.
