I'm not sure I understand - why would he deny that the beggar's failure to claim so would make him less likely to be homeless? I have trouble imagining how the conversation you're describing went.

make him less likely to be homeless?

Uh, I mixed up a less likely and a more likely. Corrected.

In that case:

He said more likely, but after that he denied that the beggar's failure to claim so would make him more likely to be a homeless.

... the first bit should probably be "He said less likely", in which case what you say makes much more sense.
