how does a homeless person get off the streets if they dont have their birthcertificate?

Im not the one homeless, but someone i know has been homeless for yrs where i live, this girl told me she cant get a birth certificate, she was born in another state, i think her mother wont sent her one for some reason, and because of that she cant get an id either to get help to get a place, just wondered if theres a solution to that problem, i hate to see her like that but in my apt building we're not allowed to take in the homeless. any solutions to that so i can tell her how to do it? im not even sure i could get it for her cause i dont want to do anything illegal, any suggestions?

These are the steps in my state. The process may be comparable where you are:
[quote][b] According to the Affidavit of Homeless Status for Fee Exempt Certified Copy of Birth Certificate:
A birth certificate may be obtained from the local registrar (to state registrar) or county recorder office in the county where the registrant was born.

Each person can only get one birth record per application
Applications may be obtained by contacting the vital records office in the county where the birth occurred

To be eligible:
Requests for birth certificates can be made by a homeless person (on behalf of themselves, or by any person lawfully entitled to request record of birth on behalf of a homeless person), child or youth — (who can verify their status as homeless)

A homeless service provider must provide verification through completion of the affidavit
The affidavit must be signed by both the homeless services provider and the person requesting the record [/b][/quote]
