    This dissertation discusses the social assistance network involving the homeless adult population of Salvador, Bahia. This segment of the population is a phenomenon of urban social issues, which have been aggravated by the neo-liberal policies adopted by Brazil that placed the country under a process of productive restructuring, privatizations and restrictions on investments in public policies. On this basis, we describe how these guidelines worsened the level of unemployment during the 1990s through to the first years of this millennium, causing a growth in the army of workers excluded from the market and, consequently, the rise in the number of people living on the streets. We address the evolution of the Social Assistance Policy and protection, following the enactment of the 1988 Constitution, the concept and profile of these subjects, and the fight for the guarantee of their rights, sponsored by the National Movement of the Homeless People. In this context we analyze the institutions maintained by both the municipal and state governments, as well as the assistance provided by religious entities. Visiting the social assistance establishments we found that these facilities are insufficient and inadequate to meet the needs of the number of homeless people in Salvador. Another aspect was that the staff was mostly comprised of outsourced professionals, which goes against the standards for ensuring the rights of this group. Interviews with the assisted people revealed their desire of belonging and of citizenship, corroborating our views that the care services are precarious, do not meet the basic needs of this public, and consider of lesser importance measures aimed at the social inclusion of men and women who make the streets their home and livelihood.

    The object of this thesis is to reflect on safeguards to the population in a street situation in the city of Salvador, Brazil, and the homeless people in the city of Porto, as they are referred to, in Portugal. We examine similarities and dissimilarities among this target group and the assistance provided in both countries, pointing out actions undertaken during the Coronavirus pandemic in Salvador. Hence, in order to achieve the proposed objective, the methodology employed focused on an analysis based on bibliographic review, documentary research, visits to shelter and support institutions, and on observations and records in field diaries that enabled knowing the characteristics, the reasons for being in the streets, the way of life, the role of the State, and the framework of Brazilian and Portuguese public policies. We found that, with the work society crisis that afflicted both Brazil and the European continent, particularly Portugal, causing the growth of the industrial reserve army, both nations revealed themselves even more incapable of integrating the whole productive population, maintaining a labor reserve. This difficult situation clearly shows the inability of the State, market, families and the community to cope with the protection of its members, which is at the root of their “banishment” to the “world” of the streets. Realizing that the absolute number of individuals under these circumstances with a similar profile is still unknown in both societies – with the exception of color and quantity – comprising, for the most part, men and young people of working age, the feminine presence, albeit low, is still growing. In the municipality of Salvador the social care network has expanded, but still has not reached the totality of this social segment. In the Porto district the service is provided by public, private, NGOs and volunteer institutions engaged in a more cohesive work. This study points out the need to analyze the particularities and difficulties of such a group, and to critically consider the care services within the sphere of social policies.
