Program Guest Survey

Missouri State ID Access Coalition, January 2025

Beginning in July 2023, St. Francis Xavier College Church and Ashrei Foundation began surveying people receiving ID assistance at their clinics. Through the course of the survey, additional partners distributed the survey as well. Six total organizations (Ashrei Foundation, SFX College Church, Guardian Angel Settlement Association, Thomas Dunn Learning Center, Voluntary Action Center, and Next Step Joplin) provided data from 590 survey participants to be included in this report. A majority of surveys came from St. Louis, with Joplin and Columbia represented second and third most, respectively. In the next iteration of this survey, the hope is to increase both the number of organizations participating as well as the number of regions in Missouri - while also narrowing the gap between St. Louis and other regions. You can see all of the historical data by following the link below.

We have iterated on the survey and will continue to gather important data from impacted individuals. Please follow the new link for updated survey!
