IDignity

IDignity provides identification to the poor. This program also provides access to the required documentation in order to get an ID, such as Social Security Cards & Birth Certificates with the assistance of legal counsel. Without these types of documents the poor are unable to receive help from most social services, get a job, open a banking account and overcome other barriers to become self-sufficient.
