There is this kid hes 19
Hes been living in a tent for 2 years
He got robbed last year and lost all his id, social card, everything
I told him i would help him get back on track
Im driving him tomorrow to the bmv to see about getting a temp id. Im going to see if the hospital can give him any records so he can use them as a secondary form of identification, Im going to see if his last employer can give records for secondary form of id,
Once/when we get him a id We will sign him up for GeneralDelivery at the post office Then we will take whatever steps to go about getting his social security card and birth certificate. And lastly the kid is looking forward to getting a legit job again.
Let me know what i havnt already thought of doing that would help this kid on his way to Id and shit. Or where you see things not working.

Thanks for doing this. I was this kid once. I was shy and reclusive and really needed a hand up. I had been on the street for years and just kind of wandered around in shock. I wasn't addicted, I never stole. I just didn't now how to get out of the hole I had found myself in. You are awesome for doing this!

I'm assuming he's settled pretty well in his tent? A roof and a couch would probably feel decent after a couple of years on the ground if you're able.

Not settled at all, sleeping in a small tent on a thrown out dirty matress covered in blankets for warmth. I see him all the time at the soup kitchen. I ask him how he survives like this, its just not good.

I don't know what country you're in, I'm assuming maybe Canada?
Anyway, once upon a time, here in the United States, I succumbed to malnutrition because I simply wasn't making enough as a 1099 worker (aka "independent contractor," aka great way to screw over the help) to cover gas, rent, incidentals, AND proper food. In a way, I was like a housed, more adult version of this kid (Though I did live in pretty rustic conditions, as well).
I felt like a real dumbass when someone pointed out that I was eligible for hundreds of dollars a month in food stamps. Boy, did that make a difference.
So, yeah. Plugging him into any available assistance programs might be good, assuming he has no philosophical objections.

I looked into secondary documents for an id, nothing will work, not medical records, past employment, school, police record, nothing will be accepted.
His story is as difficult as it could be
We went to the dmv to see our options we spent around a half hour talking with 2 differnt people, it came down to calling the hospital in another state to get a copy of his birth cert, or luckily he said he had a sister in a closer county(they are both adopted) without contact from parents, that has a "real id" and she would/could come down to our county dmv and sign a paper confirming her and his identification and then his id would be mailed to her address.
After talking with him he is going to do this, i was told his sister can be down here on nov 4th.
Once and when he has a official government id, we can begin on getting his birth cert and social security card.
