What The Homeless ID Project Does

An ID Is More Than a Piece of Plastic. It’s a First Step Out of Homelessness.

Homeless ID Project helps individuals and families experiencing homelessness obtain the identification documents they need to access employment, housing, healthcare, benefits and other essential services.

We remove the barriers that can make obtaining an ID extraordinarily difficult for someone experiencing homelessness.

These services are provided at no cost to the client, thanks to generous community support.

Replacement IDs

Free assistance with obtaining replacement driver’s licenses and state identification cards. (See Locations Here)

Secondary documents

Supporting documents, such as birth certificates, provided when needed for identification or housing.

Secure Document Storage

Safe, reliable storage that protects important documents from loss, theft, or damage.

Why Identification Matters

At the Homeless ID Project, we believe no one should be denied housing, work, or healthcare simply because they lack a piece of identification.  Without an ID → barriers to employment, housing, healthcare, benefits, banking, education, treatment, etc.

We exist to open those doors.

The Homeless ID Project is the state’s only full-time provider of Identification Replacement Services for people experiencing homelessness.

Help is provided, at no cost, t0 domestic violence survivors, kids aging out of foster care, Veterans and seniors.
