Identification Program

Are you Homeless and need ID? The Homeless Resource Network Birth Certificate Program can help. We can help you get your birth certificate and other documents needed to get a state identification card and then your state identification card as well.

Homeless Prevention Program

Applications for rental and utility financial assistance are taken during hours of service. Walk-ins are welcome but appointments are seen first. Applications should be accompanied by an eviction notice, foreclosure notice or utility disconnect notice, proof of income, and photo identification. Documentation of why you are unable to pay the bill is also needed.
