The research characterizes the social class of the homeless within an urban context, and the limit area the center of Rio de Janeiro. The study points out that Brazil walked for decades in parallel with industrialization and urbanization, a process that resulted in the intense migration, where rural migrant found in major growth centers are economic integration space. However, this phenomenon is not happening in a balanced way, causing extreme crowding in the cities and total abandonment in other regions, other words, the intense migratory movement is no longer absorbed by the job opportunities before existing in urban centers. It is observed so that migrants are often due to rupture processes, when the exit, leaving your region for lack of alternatives, and when in the new destination arrival, live a confrontation with the reality of the metropolis. This route usually traumatic, makes migration path a migration blow hard and deep because they face unemployment and the high income required to live in the capital of Rio. So, the migrant without having to return option for your region, one can see without a roof in a new land that is not yours, and no salary, no job and excluded from society, becoming, by therefore disconnected both the city and the countryside. So is suffering exclusion, and often hopeless and homelessness. The metropolitan region of Rio de Janeiro is pointed out at academic and public debates as city or town exclusion of social apartheid (Ribeiro, 2000). Cristovam Buarque (2000) reports, in his book In the middle of the street, the existence of a group of homeless who inhabit the streets of Rio de Janeiro and is an excluded community or even invisible to the rest of the population, confusing themselves with the urban of daily life landscape. The problem of segregation, social and physical / spatial division of Rio de Janeiro is therefore current topic of concern of Rio society (Passos, 2000).
