About Us

Why is this conversation necessary?

In every state across the nation there are individuals and families experiencing or at risk of entering homelessness.  In many cases they have lost - or perhaps never possessed - their legal identification documents.  Getting those documents, including a state ID or birth certificate, can seem impossible. The issue is complicated by the fact that there are at least 50 different answers to the question.  

We are creating ONE SINGLE NATIONAL VOICE to solve this problem

Our mission and vision

  

Mission Statement: To end and prevent homelessness across the nation by promoting and supporting organizations focused on providing legally recognized replacement identification documents to those in need.



Vision Statement: To create and support a 50-state solution to the issues caused by “lack of an ID” such that lack of ID ceases to be a barrier to ending or preventing homelessness.



Belief Statement: We believe that a person's ability to get a piece of paper or a plastic card should not be what stops them from ending their homelessness.



If you believe in our mission, if you share our vision, if you believe as we do that lack of an ID should not determine one's success, please join us. 



Join the conversation on one of our monthly meetings. 

We look forward to working with you! 

Our reason for being


The focus of the conversation is on ending and preventing homelessness by providing State ID, birth certificates and other needed documents. 

Identification is the means and not the focus.  


  • Recognizing that an ID provides access and not success, it is expected that affiliates will build and utilize partnerships and collaborative efforts with agencies supporting an end to homelessness in their geographical area. The entity will assist in promoting such partnerships.
  • Raising awareness of the existence of, and barriers caused by, lack of an ID will be a primary goal. The entity will endeavor to accomplish this awareness on a national level.
  • Success on a national scale will require local and national legislative relief and assistance. The entity will coordinate these efforts with help from local affiliates.
  • Because lack of an ID creates an insurmountable barrier, and because this barrier is not evident to most, we intend to be at the center of the national conversation about homelessness. The entity will provide a conduit for affiliates to enter, contribute to, and understand that conversation.
