A resolution authorizing a photo ID card for immigrants, the homeless and others that would be accepted by police and other municipal agencies has been approved by the city council in Cincinnati.

WCPO-TV reports the council voted 5-1 to approve the resolution Wednesday, with three members abstaining.

The executive director of a religious coalition that has worked with the mayor’s office on the proposal says applicants would be required to show some identification to get a card. Margaret Fox, of the Metropolitan Area Religious Coalition of Cincinnati, says those who can’t afford the $15 cost of a card could receive financial assistance.

Fox and city officials say the photo identification cards would help immigrants and others feel more a part of the community.
