HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE AND DOES IT COST MONEY?

This is a simple and free process provided at the front desk of GPD in less than 5 minutes.

WHY DO WE NEED TO DO THIS?

St. Francis House is a temporary shelter for women and families with children, and over half of our guests are kids under the age of 12 years old, therefore we require that anyone who enters our building have a current background check on file.
