IDignity
IDignity is a non-profit organization in Downtown Orlando that helps homeless and disenfranchised citizens acquire the legal documentation required by the Real ID Act to obtain an identification card. Since its founding and first monthly Identification Clinic in May 2008, it has assisted more than 22,500 individuals in regaining their identities.
IDignity was founded and receives continued support from five downtown churches: The Cathedral Church of St. Luke, First Presbyterian Church of Orlando, First United Methodist Church of Orlando, St. James Cathedral in Orlando, and Trinity Lutheran Church. This idea came about when the Project Homeless Connect realized that being unable to afford identification documents was a common issue. IDignity's Executive Director, Michael Dippy was recognized as the 2011 Central Floridian of the Year for his work with the organization.
