temporary

The
IDNYC
program
launched
in
2015
providing
New
York
City
residents
with
the
opportunity
to
get
a
free
identification
card.
IDNYC
provides
access
to
City
services
and
cultural
institutions,
numerous
discounts,
and
gives
the
peace
of
mind
that
comes
from
having
recognized
identification.
Communities,
who
are
some
of
the
most
vulnerable
and
can
have
challenges
in
obtaining
government
IDs,
such
as
homeless
people,
young
people,
seniors,
immigrants,
and
LGBTQ
people,
now
have
the
ability
to
get
an
IDNYC
at
enrollment
sites
across
the
five
boroughs.
In
year
two
of
IDNYC,
the
card
will
continue
to
be
free
and
there
will
be
expanded
benefits.
Elected
officials,
administration
leaders,
and
community
members
will
come
together
on
January
4th
to
celebrate
this
new
year
and
help
launch
municipal
ID
cards
for
NYCHA
residents.
David
Garza,
Executive
Director
of
Henry
Street
Settlement,
will
apply
for
the
municipal
ID
card
on
site.
