This article aimed to conduct a systematic review of the empirical research on homeless people. Lilacs, Medline, Ibecs, Redalyc, and PePSIC databases were searched to identify research studies published between 2011 and 2016.Twenty-three articles were found and categorized as: 1. Sociodemographic aspects and macro determinants; 2. Health and disease processes; 3. Lifestyles and significations; and 4. Social identities. An increase in the homeless population was found, and the following aspects of social vulnerability were identified: alcohol and drug use, reports of violence, the daily life in the streets, prejudice, weakening of family bonds, and identity changes that influence social exclusion. This study theme enables an analysis of psychosocial aspects for the development of intervention projects aimed at integral care.

Palabras clave : homeless people; social exclusion; social vulnerability.
