She really should report him.
Re: need help plz
First file a complaint with the police department regarding the abuse at home, and at her new place of residence.
Then file a of abuse with ACS.
Your friend should be placed in a safe environment by the City.
The grand father and roommate will face charges.

If there is a branch of the Legal Aid Society nearby, contanct them to see if they can help. You may also want to check with the Bureau of Children's Services, since your friend is so young.But, despite your concerns about her ability to pay rent if she is sent packing from her current living situation, I would do whatever you can to remove her from that situation, and I would notify the police, and follow up with whatever police investigation results. The financial hardship can be overcome, but the scars from repeated sexual abuse and beatings can be permanent.

There are numerous agencies that will help and support your friend. She needs to go to the authorities and get the help she needs. The persons who are doing this to her need to be prosecuted, and she will be protected from any other relatives who may have preyed upon her. The best thing you can do is get her to go to the authorities for help -
