The homeless population arrives at the Supreme Court of Justice: demands for rights and recognition from a public audience ‒ the ADPF 976

The homeless population became a topic of interest to the Federal Supreme Court. In 2022, the Sustainability Network, the Socialism and Liberty Party, and the Homeless Workers’ Movement proposed a public audience, filling claim of non-compliance with a fundamental Precept (ADPF) 976 with the Brazilian Supreme Federal Court, asking it to order federal, state, and municipal executive institutions to adopt measures regarding the living conditions of the homeless population in Brazil. The audience took place in November 2022. Many participants considered it a historic session as the Supreme Court discussed the topic for the first time. This study will describe this audience to understand the construction of this political event and the main contemporary agendas of this population.
