The Homeless ID Project is bringing its mobile kiosk to Tucson to demonstrate how they’ve provided their clients easier access to IDs around the Valley.
Rick Mitchell, who heads the nonprofit, says they’ve partnered with the Arizona Department of Transportation and Kyndryl which provides the technology.
“We’re able to take that mobile kiosk into one of our outreach programs or our project connect or other community even, as long as it’s during the hours that MVD is open and we can connect our clients directly with MVD,” Mitchell said.
The mobile kiosk will be at Tucson’s Woods Memorial Library on Thursday, March 12.
