HAP Tackles Photo ID Challenge for the Homeless

Government-issued photo identification cards are critical documents for individuals seeking services, employment, substance abuse treatment, housing and even access to buildings. Since 9/11, Department of Homeland Security rules require persons to present a birth certificate and Social Security card in order to obtain state-issued photo identification. At the same time, vital records ­departments throughout the country and the Social Security Administration require applicants for birth records and Social Security cards to present a valid state-issued photo ID. While a limited range of alternative documents may be substituted, these generally require proof of residence, leaving ­homeless men and women with an insurmountable impediment when they lose their identification documents as a result of their homelessness.

Family Court Help Center Hits Its Stride

In Philadelphia, over 85 percent of custody litigants proceed pro se. The majority of these litigants cannot afford counsel, and rely on the court's Intake Unit to assist with filing pleadings. While this is sufficient in some instances many pleadings beyond the basics are not available and the volume is such that litigants often are given appointments to return to the Intake Unit months in the future. In an attempt to alleviate these problems and provide litigants with much needed information on the custody process, Administrative Judge Margaret T. Murphy, members of the family law section of the Philadelphia Bar Association, and attorneys at the public interest firms Philadelphia Legal Assistance (PLA) and Women Against Abuse Legal Center (WAA) established the Family Court Help Center. The Family Court Help Center opened as a collaborative effort of the above on April 6, 2015, with a ­ribbon-cutting ­ceremony and has served approximately 2,544 litigants since its inception.
