What to do?

I'm going to try and make this short and sweet. Okay, since December 2014 my best friend (18 now, as of march 2015), his sister (about 16 or so) and his mother ( about 45 i think? maybe older) have been living with me. ( I'm 18 as of July 2015)

Reason being they got kicked out of their house due to the moms boyfriend (she's divorced) not helping pay the electric bill, so it piled up to about $3,000 and they asked to move in here since theres no water or electric or anything.

So they've been living with us since then, haven't paid my mom a dime and she iis the one stuck paying all the bills ( I try to help her ) and they don't give a damn it seems. It's like they have no money but they hide snacks and things in their room. They talked about moving out around June of 2015, which never happened. Just a bunch of lies so we'll be like "Okay, she's moving out now, we won't have to worry." But, unfortunately that's not the case. It would be fine if she was paying my mom even $100 but no. To make it even worse we are on food stamps ( not b/c of them.)

Let me also mention the sister doesn't have a job, and the mother (has or had I don't even know anymore) a job but she hasn't been working for weeks. I guess it was due to her mother being sick. But that is no goddamn excuse to leech off of us. My mom is even paying for their part of the internet bill and tv bill, they really haven't gave a dime. I'm real tired of this. Oh also let me just say the boyfriend does stop bye sometimes, and it looks like they're all cool. But she also brings in her mother sometimes and it just pisses me off. How do you live with someone without giving them anything? My mom is an extremely nice person, she knows this is happening but I tell her to talk to them but it doesn't look like she will. SO I've come here. the friends mom doesn't like anything else besides for working in a pharmacy , Even I make more money than her ass and I work at Wendy's making $8.00/hour PART freakin time. She needs to get it in her head that this isn't a freakin' game and get a real job. That's the one real big reason why she is in this mess..

She doesn't "like" other jobs. Sorry honey but you need to survive in this world. There are other people who moved in with us before, a girl and her hubby ( the girl is my fathers daughter ) and they didnt pay a dime, AND stole stuff. I'm tired of this. I have no clue what to do. I feel like letting them stay here was a mistake. Let me also mention I've been friends with the dude ever since I was 3 years old, so basically all of our life. But he's actually been working on construction, with his dad( they are divorced, so he goes to his house and does it.) getting money for college, but I really want these guys our or they're paying the big bucks. They owe us so much.

Tl;Dr ( not recommended ) : friends since birth come to live with me and got kicked out of their house due to not paying the bill ( a huge dispute with their relatives, and the moms sister claiming the house is hers, what a devil..) comes in to move in with us Dec 2014. It's now August and talk of them moving out has disappeared, and they haven't paid a dime. What should I do?

Only thing I can think of is getting everyone into one room and calmly discussing all this. I think a conversation is needed, but if your mum doesn't feel able to have it (assuming she either dislikes confrontation or is someone who gives everyone the benefit of the doubt) then may be better if everyone is there.
As a side I've had to live with people before due to loosing my own home and having no-little money. But, when I've had nothing to ay people for letting me stay I've tried to do other stuff like help out with housework or gardening or baby sitting, or basically anything so that I am contributing even if its not in money terms. Can't really understand the mindset myself of living with someone but not contributing at all

Well, the whole family doesn't like confrontation (my friends family). Also yeah they don't even do their own dishes, my mom or me do them. They don't contribute. Sorry I didn't mention this before.

Sounds like you're mom is being too supportive and the "guests" are taking advantge of situation. Mum is actually making situation worse by enabling selfish behavior. She probably knows things are wrong but doesn't want to be "upset" so she doubles down and tries to keep being supportive. That's similar to a battered woman's mentality where they keep sacrificing and feeling "noble" when they are actually creating a bigger problem via the enabling. Not sure what to tell you to do. Your mom needs to say "I cant keep suffering other people's hardships because I have my own" and then set a date to be out of house. She should also be getting money instead of people buying snacks and giving nothing. You're being tempted to go crazy from the insanity. You can speak-up instead of suppressing but don't go crazy mad because then the people will get to focus on you as the problem instead of themselves.
