Abstract

The objective of the study was to know the influence of public and social policies on the lives of street homeless people, and their consequences in the process of street living. It is an integrative review of articles researched in the PUBMED database, using the descriptors "Homeless person" and "social welfare". The inclusion criteria were: texts in Portuguese, English and Spanish, published between 2010- 2016, fully available, guiding policies aimed at the population living in the street. From 535 articles found, 11 were included and covered North American, Canadian and English programs; Kenyan orphanages, and Brazilian social assistance. The results indicate that the use of illicit substances and street living situation occur even in individuals followed since childhood, and policies support mainly material needs, leading to consequences that sustain the need to keep these policies, not fulfilling the role of emancipation of individual rights.
