Sarah Staniland, defending, said he hopes to move in with his sister.
District Judge Naomi Redhouse urged Jackson to get somewhere to live because in the current situation she feared he will struggle on the streets.
The breach was marked with one-day of custody deemed served after he had been remanded following his arrest.
