Did the 17 year old sign the lease?

As long as she is a minor, you are responsible for her, and could get into significant legal trouble, up to and including arrest for neglect, for throwing her out or barring her from your home. Your better course of action is have a trusted friend or family member become her legal guardian. Check the website for the Clerk of Court in your county, and look under the probate section for the steps to change legal guardianship.

she will be 18 before she has to be out and the way she is no one in my family wants to take her in. So she will be an adult before she is to leave my home.

If you are set on this course of action, wait until she is 18 to begin proceedings.
