The charities and individuals that help outside the normally available services though the counties or city government are typically are private and local.
They do not advertise; but people looking for them can find them. Local churches and religious organizations tend to know them.
The fact is that many people today can indeed move out and make it on their own at 18. There is a lot more government help than there was in 1975 (when there was none).
Of course the key is that people need to be honest, willing to work at inelegant jobs if they cannot find an elegant one, not have substance abuse issues, willing to have roommates or live in someones house where they don't have total freedom and have to live to some rules (I've done both multiple times).
Being able to prioritize having a low cost smartphone and non-name brand clothing is also typically required.
I have nothing to be ashamed of as I'm working with young adults every year in these situations... and having successes.
My mom locked me out of the house?
