Can you have a Soldier that lives Off-Post brought back to Post (Barracks) if that Soldier is unable to get himself to work?

Is there anything in the regulation to have a Soldier come back to Post to live in the barracks if he is unable to get himself to work? For context, the Soldier is married but is currently not residing with his spouse. This hasn't been the first time either, the Soldier is constantly having car issues which is fine the first couple of times but when it's a constant issue then now I am looking for a permanent solution. I would greatly appreciate any information anybody can provide or any regulations covering an issue such as this.

Your off-quarters are approved by the Commander - "Yes", he can order you on post into the barracks if he is unable to maintain your accountability as a soldier at your place of duty.
Further "Commanders will ensure equitable distribution of FH assets on and off post among all pay grades by means of reallocation and/or redesignation actions."

It would be much more difficult to authorize restricting a Soldier to post who is authorized BAH than it would be to bar, separate, or assist the Soldier.
You start running into competing issues of you try to restrict the Soldier long term. They aren't authorized to be in the barracks for longer than 30 days because they're authorized BAH. The commander doesn't have any reason to restrict the Soldier because they aren't under any UCMJ action.
The authority to grant an exception would almost certainly be the garrison commander, and since it involves Army money it has to be thoroughly justified. An example would be a substantiated case of domestic violence. When this case reaches that Commanders desk, they will ask, is this the only course of action to solve this problem? The answer is no it's not
