More details to this question:
My friend who lives the apartment is in a mental health program that helps mentally ill people who have been chronically homeless have a place to stay and if they do well enough they give them a rent subsidy. My buddy went to go do something and left me at the house I guess they were checking in on him I don't know but they walked right and didn’t know they were coming by they gave him no warning that they would be there just walked in.

It depends on the terms of the arrangement. Landlords cannot just walk in but if this is a room in a facility then there is an implied if not explicit consent to entry at all times.
