housing benifit

i really want to move out of home, but havent got the money to do it, so was thinking of appling for housing benifit but it says you cant live with your parents to claim it, so how would i get it, because i would use the money to move out! supported housing was talked about in last year but it never came about and im not sure how to bring it up with my care coordinator! i just cant live at home anymore its making me feel so trapped and making me run away and i just hate it! any advice would be appriciated!

thanks

best bet would probably to go see CAB. They will be abe to advise you of housing agensies in your area as well as which benefits you're eligable for
