This dissertation has the purpose to study the population living on the streets, in their process of participation in the Centro Comunitário São Martinho de Lima, which is a place of experience of participation. Its objective is to analyze how this process of participation of the population from the Zona Leste (east area) of São Paulo happens as one of the local expression of a national movement, the struggle, along with other movements, aiming at access of certain rights, taking as a reference the past five years (2009-2013). The route proposed to elucidate the research objective is based on a theoretical and methodological framework, whose guiding principles are formed by concepts and social practices of movements and the civilian society, based on the rights that the 1988 Brazilian Constitution starred as the opening to participation. Participation is the main element for the application of citizenship and the building of democracy. For this reason, the conceptual references that pervade this research are grounded on bibliographical survey of Brazilian contemporary authors in the social service and the sociology area; the documental study was guided by the research about the situation of the population who lives on the streets and the current legislation on programs and services for taking care of this population. Centro Comunitário São Martinho de Lima seeks to identify how this space contributes to the participation of people in the streets, as human beings, to construct their citizenship. This is a qualitative research and its methodology is the participant observation, whose dynamics was based on a sharing of some moments of experience of the people in the locations they are placed to get engaged with the struggles, events, celebrations and so forth. Interviews were done as a way to collect information through testimonies of their personal life trajectory. Four (4) individuals were the subjects that are included in the activities of Centro São Martinho de Lima. Two (2) are base participants and cohabitants and two (2) are former homeless people who are currently helping in the activities with the target people. The outcomes show, on the one hand, that the Centro Comunitário, being a space where people live together and that promotes daily activities and debates about necessary topics and homeless struggles, is a space to strengthen the learning that the consolidation of the rights occurs through the practice of citizenship; on the other hand, participation is a process that results in experiences around common interests and needs. Therefore, the condition of vulnerability this population lives in makes participation occur in the field of psychosocial and socioeconomic needs, whose main entrance is the social welfare policy
