Being another person giving you advice may be irritating, but on the off-chance it helps, in my area (Northeast USA) there are places where people who need help "living" can do just that. They get a room, food, help with transportation, and "recovery" (life) planning assistance, and it is "free" (their Medicare/Medicaid). They are free to get jobs, and some do, either at partner facilities where they do small repetitive tasks, or in a traditional job in the community.

The #1 challenge is quality - as a parent, you'd have to be and stay involved, as even within a single organization, the quality of each "house" can vary really significantly based on the people who work there, and further, can drift over time as the staff evolves.

Anyway, here's to you; parenting is never easy.
