Vital Documents
You need vital documents, like a birth certificate, social security card and ID, to have a bank account and file taxes. I replaced vital documents on the street initially with help from homeless services in San Diego. Later, I was able to do it on my own because I had earned income and a mailing address. Once I had those things in place, getting new ID was very similar to how I got it as a middle class American.
