Because the OP has not indicated which colleges (if any) are in commute range (and whether commuting costs could be significant), and has not received any FA or scholarship offers, s/he has no safeties yet.
Perhaps @firstgencollege can clarify which colleges are in commute range.
NJIT’s NPC assumes that living with parents costs $7,300 “room and board” and $6,300 “other expenses” (commuting included?) (these are $13,600 combined). For comparison, the on-campus numbers are $13,900 “room and board” and $4,100 “other expenses” ($18,000 combined). NJIT’s living with parents assumption is probably very high compared to what a low income family actually incrementally spends having the OP living there as a high school senior, although that actual amount is not $0 as is commonly assumed here (especially if commuting requires the family to get another car due to poor public transit options).
