How We Help
ID Program
There are over 300,000 Philadelphians legally unable to identify themselves.
How We Help
A report by the National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty notes that without a photo identification card, people often find that they cannot secure stable housing, obtain employment, and/or receive basic services. The report also states that the greatest barrier to obtaining photo identification is the inability to pay the fee. In partnership with Philly Restart, Bebashi helps individuals living in poverty overcome these obstacles by paying for their state photo identification card.
Our Impact
Since we established our ID program in 2015:
- 1251 State Photo Identification Cards were issued through our program
Bebashi taught me HIV/AIDS is not a death sentence. I am so grateful and honored to be associated with this organization. Lots of respect for Bebashi.
