I helped a friend find a few places in Brooklyn NY as well, and places for another in Portland Oregon, but most of them have been in or near Olympia WA where I live. Depends on where you are, but you can generally get a place ranging from $350 a month to $600 a month in the most expensive places, usually including utilities/internet.
My folks are in Centralia. Olympia seems nice if I can find a residence and a job. I'd ask my folks for help with such a move, but my stepdad would pick up and drive here when the man should not be straining his back for a bag of gromulch at this point, let alone moving boxes. I don't want to do that to him, ya know? At the same time any help you could give me in this would be most appreciated.

I can find you a place in SoCal pretty easy, if you have specific location or area in mind. Some places are far more expensive then others, but I can find you one under $700 anywhere (I mean, not Malibu heh....but anywhere logical).
I'd rather avoid places like Boron where my situation would only get worse. lol... Also, I vaguely recall the cheaper areas down here requiring a car to get anywhere, including work. At least fifteen years ago it was the case where people moved to this desert for low housing costs, and spent those savings or more on car-related payments to get to and from their places of employment.
All the more reason for me to get out of SoCal, this time for good. (I had lived in Salt Lake City for a couple years where it was nice)
I can help you find a place in centralia easily, and it's super cheap there. Also if your dad wants to pick me up on the way to come get you, I'll move all the boxes etc so he doesn't have to (just don't like driving long distances anymore).
Centralia is really close to me, and it's very inexpensive to live there. I will look now but I bet there are rooms for rent under 400. It's actually hard to find/get them in olympia/lacey where I live, but I have been pretty lucky/good at finding them here.
I'll look now. I also have a friend who works for people ready (it's a temp agency), they have a app for a cell phone to get jobs for you etc, and he would be able to set you up with work pretty much right away. Only prob would be getting there without a car initially (especially asI think most of the work is in Olympia/Lacey which isn't far from centralia...but is if you can't drive.
I'll check for places right now and see what the landscape is like. Would be way easier for me to help you near here (where I am) then LA/SoCal.....but I can look around there as well. ---
