PROTEÇÃO SOCIAL À POPULAÇÃO EM SITUAÇÃO DE RUA NO BRASIL

Abstract

This article analyzes the social protection offered by the Brazilian state to homeless people. The Federal Constitution of 1988 guarantees the right to social assistance to anyone who needs it, regardless of contribution, through a set of state and social actions aimed at providing for the basic vital needs of the less fortunate. This basic and special social protection translates into various public services and is owed by all federal entities and coordinated by the Union in its National Social Assistance Policy. One part of our vulnerable population, those living on the streets, remains more unassisted due to their invisibility in the face of official public welfare policies. In ADPF No. 976, the Federal Supreme Court ordered their inclusion due to the unconstitutional state of affairs in which they find themselves, in relation to their fundamental rights to life, health, food, safety and housing. Social protection for these people is also deficient in other countries, such as Spain. This debate will take place in this essay to give an overview of the situation in Brazil
