Unfortunately, not. Head of Household (HoH) is mostly intended for single parents, not unrelated friends. If he lived with and supported over 1/2 the costs of a home where he lived with a dependent family member (child, grandchild, sibling, descendant of a sibling, parent, aunt, uncle
As Judy said, he could claim you as a dependent (even though you don't qualify him for HoH) if you lived with him all year and earned less than $3,300.
Sorry for the bad news.

He can't claim you for being able to file head of household. Only certain blood relatives, or relatives by marriage, would make him eligible for that. Unrelated people don't.
If you made under $3300 gross income last year, he might be able to claim you as a dependent. If you made more than $3300, he can't claim you as a dependent either.
