From the Office of Councilman Damon L. Alexander, Ward 7, it gives us great pleasure to announce the collaboration with California State DMV to provide State identification cards and other DMV services to our unhoused population.
San Bernardino City DMV has set aside specific dates and times for local city organizations to take their unhoused population to the local office to be served. The DMV will provide California State identification along with all other services they deliver during these allotted times.
“While working in the field with Mental Health Systems they mentioned to me how vital identification is to the unhoused to begin the path back into mainstream society. I was told that they had to travel miles to another city for specific appointed dates and times for services for their clients. They wished the DMV located in the city would do the same. Today, we got it done. DMV will provide all services needed to our unhoused population right here in the City of San Bernardino during specific dates and times. I want to thank the DMV for making such a fantastic and much needed service materialize without a glitch. I also want to thank the local organizations that are working so hard to help the City’s unhoused population.”
If you are a local City organization that works with the unhoused population, please contact Renea Wickman at 909.708.4585 for more information how to get your organization involved.
