    I'm not sure of it, but I think he is. By his actions, I really have some proof that he is homeless. Proof:

    -Stealing casino chips
    -Telling Bob Vance that he has never owned a fridge before
    -Taking an item from the charity drive
    -Giving Jim an old shirt for Christmas
    -Telling the cameras that drugs were related to his downfall from the Grassroots

    I just came up with these off the top of my head. Agree or disagree, this is what I think. Contribute more proof if you want.

    Interesting theory. I like your angle on this.

    I don't think he's homeless. I think he's just a huge klepto and he's peculiarly frugal. I wouldn't be surprised if he has a spectacular house somewhere hidden off. He's just strange enough to have that.

    I don't think he's homeless. I think he's just weird. I picture him living in a cabin in the woods outside of Scranton. He probably doesn't have many technological things, and he probably sits around listening to vinyl and smoking weed. He steals stuff so he can sell it for extra drug money. Quite the bizarre existence for a guy who works in a modern office setting.

    At worst he would be a part time homeless guy, since he spends in weekends in Toronto to collect welfare

    If he was homeless he wouldn't be able to come to work showered and in a suit and tie everyday. And if he was homeless (regardless of who he was with in the 60's) he wouldn't still be able to play guitar the we he does in that deleted scene from Booze Cruise.

    It's an amusing theory....but the dudes not homeless

    I forgot which episode but... wasn't there a scene where we clips of him (or someone else, can't really remember) sleeping overnight in the office sometimes, like under his desk or whatever.. i think it's the same one where he mentions welfare and Toronto.

    I think you would be surprised. There are showers he'd have access too and just cause he's homeless doesn't mean he couldn't use a laundrymat. And the ability to play the guitar has nothing to do with a roof over your head.

    It's possible...but if he was too irresponsible to save up enough money to get a cheap apartment...then he wouldn't be responsible enough to go to work, or hold that job as long as he has (he worked there before Michael was manager)

    And your right the ability to play guitar has nothing to do with the roof over your head...but do you really think that if he's homeless he's carrying a guitar around everywhere he goes...he'd have to have one lying around in his apartment to have kept the amount of skill he appeared to have in the deleted scene of the Booze Cruise. Doing all those drugs and everything......it wouldn't matter who he was with in the 60's if he hadn't touched a guitar since then...he probably wouldn't be able to play anymore then basic chords, if that.....skill doesn't stay with you like that...at least not enough skill to keep up with three other guys, there's a big difference between playing in your bedroom and playing in tune with a drummer, bass player and keyboardist

    I don't think there is definitive proof that Creed is homeless, but as has been said, there are quite a few clues that say he might.  The one that I haven't seen mentioned yet is the fact that he sleeps at desk four nights a week.  He mentions it in the deleted scenes in "The Coup."  He also mentions that he spends the other part of the week in Toronto, so he can milk Canada's welfare system.  There is no mention of where he stays while dwelling in the Maple Leaf State.

    Well played. You win this round, Mr. FuFu.

    Well, he's probably lying about that one...
    I mean, you know him, heh..

    I'd say not homeless..
    and, in any case... probably, he just doesn't have a lot of money.

    Someone already said it and I remember. In the deleted scenes from Halloween... michael says that he lives in an apartment when he's trying to fire him.

    I think he's just damn bored with his life, so he spices it up by stealing - "I steal all the time. I stopped caring a long time ago."
