Improve access to obtaining official IDs
Lack of access to state identification prevents individuals from accessing employment opportunities, registering to vote (in some states), and obtaining needed support services.
As an agency tasked with providing driver's licenses and other forms of state identification, connecting frequently with those living below the NPPS will allow you to understand where processes are overly burdensome or prohibitive, as well as the repercussions of not being able to obtain formal IDs.
To get started:
Work with neighborhood leaders to determine barriers that prevent individuals from acquiring or retaining their identification.
Coordinate within your agency and across local and state government agencies to streamline the application process.
Develop information sheets for your clients about how to obtain official ID.
