people working with staff to get identification

Without identification, accessing housing, health care, financial assistance, food banks, and employment are out of reach. Our Partners for Access and Identification (PAID) program helps people who are homeless apply for essential identification. With daily clinics across the city, PAID is accessible for people living on the street, in shelters, or in encampments.
