In 2022, we launched a pilot program to expand access to photo identification, which has now become an established program called the North City Photo ID Project. In 2023, this program trained 70 volunteers and served 875 individuals. We covered the costs of 597 Missouri birth certificates, 132 out of state birth certificates, and supported (through financial and/or logistical assistance) applications for 709 Missouri non-driver photo IDs. This program offered 4 volunteer training events and weekly ID access clinic days open to the public. The North City Photo ID Project operates out of our office space in a community center operated by the Tabernacle Community Development Corporation called the The Tabernacle Hub, located in North St. Louis City.

In 2023, the Ashrei Foundation supported the Missouri State ID Access Coalition as a co-facilitator of the program in partnership with St. Francis Xavier College Church. We supported their Fall Mini-Grant Funding Cycle, supporting 7 groups across the state of Missouri who wanted to assist individuals with getting their government-issued photo IDs and birth certficates. We further supported the Coalition by writing a grant for Impact Through Access: Eliminating barriers to identification for a healthier Missouri and were awarded $588,488 by the Missouri Foundation for Health, with the first payment received in December 2023. This grant will allow us to expand the Coalitions work in 2024 in a variety of ways, including hiring a Coalition Coordinator who will be an Ashrei employee.
