From 1990 onwards, it is possible to find care experiences aimed at homeless population which target were to decrease iniquities of access to health services, as indicated by Health Family Strategy model. In 2011, as part of National Politics of Basic Care, it was created Consultório na Rua (CnaR) a kind of clinic on the street which is nowadays the main care program aimed at homeless population.
