It’s a crisis here and will be a major issue in this year mayor’s election.

I have a NYCID. It can get you a library card and some museums and it can be used as ID for things like access to some City services like GED, SNAP, Section 8 housing and cash assistance, buying alcohol, getting into buildings and the like. You can get one if you are 10 or older so in some respects it’s an advancement over other forms of ID. For work you would need the id and some other proof of work authorization.
