Maybe the help is inadvertent. Florida seems to have several intentional communities aka communes that would suit his needs nicely. Off grid, nobody asks many questions and people drift in and out frequently.
I’m sooo glad you brought this up because I woke up at 4:00 this morning with this exact thing on my mind.
MOO
IMO
It would be easy for someone like Brian to be absorbed by an “Intentional Community “ (used to be called hippie communes in the 70s).
These communities, based on my research, tend to be very accepting and open to most everyone and don’t tend to ask questions. A young man, such as Brian, could walk up with nothing but the clothes in his back and he would be given a place to sleep and food to eat, in exchange for a little sweat equity.
These communities may be off grid in rural areas, such as one in Lafayette, TN with just a few trips to town to pick up essentials. It would be easy for someone to keep their head down and avoid going into public until things on the “outside” calmed down or you’ve grown your hair out, gained weight, etc.
I think Brian could easily adapt to this type of living. He would essentially be camping with the safety and support of a community “hidden” community, while still having the opportunity to catch a ride to town to pick up a package from the post office and maybe even someone who could sign for a money wire in the event that someone decided to wire him money.

There are many of these communities all over the states, but I’ve only really looked into the one in Lafayette, TN because of YouTube. The community is called The Garden and you can search YouTube for “The Garden commune”. I’m not trying to imply that he may be there, but there are a lot of videos about this one in particular because Youtubers were making videos on when they visited. It became a destination for some Youtubers for the sole purpose of making videos.
FWIW Most of the videos I watched stated that the Youtubers were welcomed and treated very nicely by the residents of the community.
I’m just saying, if I was a young, strong man in my early twenties and I needed somewhere to go, I would definitely look into an intentional community to disappear into.
MOO
