This article focuses on the lack of census of homeless people, due to state omission, and the consequent social invisibility of this population segment. This social problem arises from not knowing how many there are or their existential needs, preventing them from being recipients of public policies that rescue them from the social condition in which they find themselves. The objectives aimed at this phenomenon are to analyze and demonstrate the indispensability that the existential precariousness of these people be identified, in order to seek the implementation of this rescue through the National Policy for the Homeless Population, along the lines of Federal Decree N° 7,053, of December 23, 2009. The methodology consists of the use of bibliographies (works and legislation), jurisprudence, statistical data collected from the National Survey on the Homeless Population, the Pop Street Census, and the Estimate of the Homeless Population in Brazil, made available by the Institute of Applied Economic Research (IAER), therefore combined with the inductive method. As results of the research, the invisibility suffered and the emptying of the demands of the population in question have been demonstrated, despite their gradual numerical growth, due to various causes (social inequality, racism, social exclusion, etc.), which makes it essential for competent governmental and social bodies to be aware of the collectivization of the demands of the aforementioned people, in vulnerable situations.
