"We identified that the majority are men, mostly black, in their 40s. This survey was essential to see the scenario and build appropriate policies", explained Concen technician, Vinícius Silva Fernandes de Paula. Legal framework and veto of 'forced removals' Homeless residents will have unique assistance in São Carlos and 10 other cities in the interior of São Paulo Reproduction/EPTV The creation of the protocol meets legal requirements and guidelines from the Federal Supreme Court (STF), which prohibit the compulsory transfer of vulnerable people between cities. Public defender Lucas Corrêa Abrantes Pinheiro reinforced that regional integration replaces historical practices that violate rights: "In the past, collecting people and sending them to other municipalities against their will was a common practice, but it has always been a violation of rights. Today, the national policy on the homeless population was elevated to constitutional dignity by the STF. This obliges municipalities to observe this policy and treat these people as subjects of rights", stated the defender. In São Carlos, the municipality that hosts regional reference services, actions are guided by voluntary adherence. The local network includes the Centro Pop (composed of social workers, psychologists and counselors), the Casa de Passagem (open 24 hours a day) and the Social Approach Service, which operates daily on the streets. Integration by software and regional committee To ensure continuity of social support when traveling between cities, the protocol provides for the use of a single reference form and the development of regional management software. "We are developing software to link data between municipalities. Thus, if a person treated in São Carlos goes to Ibaté or Araraquara, the system will allow them to be recognized and receive immediate care", explained Concen advisor, Rawely Alexandrino Genaro. During the meeting, it was also agreed to form a Regional Working Group, composed of a representative from each of the 11 city halls, to monitor the practical application of the protocol and monitor the implementation of the measures.
