On the other hand, in recent decades, there has been progress in social policies aimed at homeless people in Brazil in the context of Social Assistance policy, which through the Specialized Reference Centers for the Homeless Population Pop Centers they play an important role in guaranteeing the social rights of this population through articulation with other public policies, including work.
