Serving the Phoenix & Tucson Metro Areas
What We Do At The Homeless ID Project
Our wonderful team helps individuals obtain the identification documents they need to access housing, employment and essential services required to exit their homelessness and rebuild their lives. We specifically assist with replacement IDs and supporting documents — including birth certificates when required for IDs and Housing — and we provide secure document storage to prevent loss, theft, or destruction.
These services are provided at no cost to the client, thanks to generous community support.
Important Notice
Effective September 1, 2025, our policy for birth certificate requests has been updated.
Birth certificates will be provided under the following circumstances:
✅ When required to obtain an Arizona identification card
✅ When a client is working with a case manager to secure housing — with documentation to verify the requirement
✅ For other essential needs — with documentation to verify the requirement
We Are Here to Support You!
Please note that our role is to guide and support you through the application process — and fund the documents — but we do NOT control state rules, requirements or processing timeframes. We understand the process can feel overwhelming or frustrating. We’re here to help you take the first step because we believe that everyone deserves a chance to move forward.
