Dozens of transgender and homeless Chicagoans obtained state IDs and other documentation at the Center on Halsted April 22. The secretary of state set up shop at the Center and issued free state IDs to homeless people and also helped transgender people update their IDs to reflect new names and gender presentations.

The Center's transgender liaison, June LaTrobe, and Ellen Meyers from the secretary of state's office coordinated the effort, LaTrobe said.

According to LaTrobe, 56 people signed in for services. Most of them received new or updated IDs.
