The City of Austin, Texas, has partnered to work on a blockchain-based identification system aimed to help the homeless keep track of important documents like identification. The program is called Mypass, and hopes to solve some of the current issues that hamper offering aid to the homeless population, such as lack of identification and important documentation.
