Homosexual friendzone too much

In brief, whilst working for a local accounts firm near Bristol I became friends with a openly gay effeminate guy, we worked together quite well. I was touched how much he confided in me (& I him) and we became platonicly close often going to the theatre meals out ect.
About three years ago He left to marry his partner and move some hundred miles away. Almost 12 months ago he moved back having traumatically split up and ended living at mine as he had nowhere to go assuring me it was temporary.

He has become too settled in my house however, it’s not a problem and he more than pays his way.
However it’s like living with my mother! He cooks cleans irons! and does all manner of housework my house is gleaming! I can’t fault his helpfulness, he even organised my wardrobe whilst I was away on my hols!I just feel there’s a dependency creeping in that is becoming slightly over bearing.

He says he’s looking for a place but it never seems to materialise, how do I give him a time limit?

Oh God, he's not one of those 'maid' perves, is he?

He has mentioned being a “housemaid” a fair bit
But perve I don’t think so, he is a very girly gay so why would he wish to be maids for a female?

Feeling guilty about this now as he’s obviously traumatised by his impending homelessness & is upsetting him generally

Don't be daft. He's a grown man. Millions of people move house every year.
If he has failed to plan for this eventuality, that's on him, not you - did he imagine he was going to stay with you forever?

He's not traumatised btw.
If he's told you he is - stop pandering to it.
If you've invented that yourself - stop with the melodrama. "Impending homelessness" - my arse. He has 3 months to find himself new digs, that's plenty of time to sort himself out.
