United Way of Greater New Bedford knows that many people experiencing homelessness face significant barriers - including the cost of obtaining a state-issued ID Card. To help remove the obstacle, UWGNB has created a State ID Fee Reimbursement Fund for local nonprofit providers. Through this program, nonprofits can request reimbursement for the Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) ID fee on behalf of the clients they serve.
