The homeless population is characterized by a complex and diverse reality, encompassing different groups that live in extremely precarious conditions. At the same time that the population is aging, the conditions of vulnerability of this group associated with impoverishment can lead to an increase in the number of elderly people living on the streets. The elderly who experience the harsh reality of the streets embody the essence of helplessness, facing physical, economic and psychological needs, and exposing to the open air what is denied by a large part of society. The analysis will be based on exploring the theme of social inequalities and verifying the situation of vulnerability of this part of the population, as well as revealing the importance of the effectiveness of public policies for human promotion to guarantee essential individual and social rights. The objective of the study is to demonstrate the existence (or not) of the antinomic structure of the state of exception in the midst of Brazilian democracy and its possible consequences. To do so, it uses the hypothetical-deductive method, through documentary, descriptive and exploratory research to reflect on the significant increase in the homeless population, specifically the elderly who live this vulnerable and exclusionary reality.
