The wandering in the contemporaneity is a complex phenomenon and it radically expresses in the case of highway wanderers: individuals that walking on foot and without a destination on the Brazilian highways with a sack on their backs where carry all your meager belongings and excluded of social assistance public policies practically. This paper aims to reflect about these public policies whose analysis is the text of 109 Resolution published on the Union Official Diary on November 25th 2009 according to Law 8.742 on December 07th 1993 that approved the national standardization of Brazilian social assistance services organized by Only Social Assistance System (OSAS). The analysis suggest an ample discussion within OSAS and others government institutions to elaborate and implement new projects of social administration where States and municipalities can promote assistance public policies to attend also the needs of highway wanderers and assure best dignity conditions in their wandering journeys at least.
