ABSTRACT:
The homeless population in Brazil has been more significantly integrated into the public agenda since the creation of the National Policy for the Homeless Population in 2009. However, the right to health gained prominence in 2011 with the revision of the National Primary Care Policy and the creation of the Street Clinic within Primary Health Care, enabling the provision of comprehensive healthcare services for the homeless population and guaranteeing access to health actions and services within the Unified Health System (SUS). The objective of this study is to analyze how the homeless population utilizes public health services offered in the municipality of Niterói. The study was based on qualitative research using the following methods and techniques: bibliographic review, documentary research, secondary data analysis, and interviews. The homeless population has historically had limited access to health services and faces many obstacles that hinder the realization of the right to health. The use of health services is a complex issue, and different factors must be considered: demographics, social structure, and beliefs about health, as well as determinants of the supply and demand for services.
