Do the counties around you not have programs? Or programs that are significantly more expensive or inconvenient for the customers?  It would be a shame to waste labor resources and exclude undocumented immigrants (who are probably paying into your funding system via rent) or homeless folks if you don’t have a pretty big problem with out-of-county residents abusing your system.  Or with higher-ups demanding that you demonstrate that you are only serving citizens…

Subject: Proof of Residency

Hi Everyone,

As our program is expanding, we’ve been looking at requiring proof of in-county residency for 2021 (with a one-year phase-in). I was wondering if any other programs do anything like this and how they handle situations like:

• Out-of-county family members bringing materials on behalf of an in-county resident (like a relative) or estate
• Undocumented immigrants using the service
• People who do not have a permanent address (such as people living with relatives but technically homeless)

If you require proof of residency, I was also wondering what sort of documents that you accept.

Thank you so much,

Will Garcia
