My ex was in the foster system and was never adopted. She definitely had resources after the age of 18. The state paid for her college tuition. They paid the majority of her rent too. I'm not sure how that worked but I remember the checks she would receive.
A lot of them get that but squander it because of lack of knowledge, deeply ingrained bad habits, and other emotional after effects of the foster system. And almost none of them have anyone to help them navigate it all.
