Abstract:

The number of Homeless People (PSR) has been increasing in recent years. Government actions have been implemented to improve the living conditions for this population, especially those focused on health care. Thus, this study has as research question: how are the healthcare strategies of services and programs being offered to the homeless population in Brazil? Its objective is to analyze the health care strategies adopted by services and programs offered to the homeless population in Brazil. To achieve this, a search was conducted in the Virtual Health Library (VHL), Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences (Lilacs), and Scientific Electronic Library Online (Scielo) databases, resulting in 21 articles. The analysis of these articles showed that mainly described the drug use as the main reason for seekin health services and also pointed the Street Office (CnaR) as an essential device capable of promoting links between PSR and other health sectors. In addition, the importance of networking and the complexity of health care for populations were recurrent themes in the discussions, as they deal with actions aimed at vulnerable, stigmatized people who often have needs and singularities in the way of living in society.
