Ironically, Larkin Street Youth Services satisfies both extremes. If you educate yourself, you'll find that LSYS is not a "private charity," it receives 2/3 of its budget from government agencies, and was founded by people in the neighborhood to fill a void not being handled by SF government.

So, in LSYS you have a charity that was begun in the neighborhood outside of government programs, which one extreme says shouldn't handle it anyway, which is in turn majority funded by government agencies, which helps the charity to do its work effectively. I'm not sure how this could be a problem for anybody outside of Kristol-Norquistian ghouls.
