You should be aware of the paperwork you need to bring to Path for the emergency shelter application process. DHS will make copies of all documents you provide and return the originals to you.
You will need to have identification, such as a welfare ID card, green card, driver's license, passport/visa, or picture employment card. If you do not have a picture ID, you can generally use a birth certificate, social security card, Medicaid card, identity card in the public assistance system, or a pay stub to prove your identity.
In order to show that your household constitutes a family, you must:
* Show that the adults in your family are listed as parent(s) on the child(ren)'s birth certificates, OR
* Have legal custody of the child(ren), OR
* Have filed in court or with the Department of Health for paternity, OR
* Have documentation that the adults are legally married, and at least one adult is the child(ren)'s parent or guardian, OR
* Show that the adults in the family have lived together for a substantial period of time and have a medical or other compelling reason why they need to live together, OR
* Show a city-issued domestic partnership certificate as evidence and have lived together for at least six months.
It is also helpful to bring the following if you have it:
* Eviction papers or Marshall's Notice
* Proof of residence for the past 2 years
* Leases
* Con Edison or Telephone Bill
* Pay stub, or proof of income
Do Not Bring
* Any contraband, alcohol, or illegal substances (smoking is not allowed in public buildings within New York City);
