Good to carry for almost anything
Photo ID (any kind), proof of your NYC address if you have one, Social Security card or number if you have one, a list of your medications, and any letters you were given (eviction notice, benefits letter, hospital paperwork). Missing documents is not a reason to stay home — emergency rooms, shelter intake, and crisis lines help without them.
