Abstract

It was sought, in the present work, to analyze some historical aspects of the theme and delimited it, geographically, to the city of Palmas - TO. The legal and doctrinal conceptualization of Population in Homeless Situation was sought out, its denominations, evaluating the little researches on the theme and it was verified the inexistence of articles or doctrine about the situation in Palmas-TO. The issue could not be analyzed without first appreciating the issue of citizenship and the dignity of the human person, aspects that are indissolubly linked to the issue of population living on the streets. It was verified the difficulty of access to justice for that population due to the lack of minimum documentation and, in most cases, the lack of knowledge or access to information.

All the work was developed to provide a concrete idea of the real position of the Homeless Population in the city of Palmas-TO.
