This paper presents a report about the “I Conference on Policies for Assistance to Homeless People: Articulation between SUS and SUAS”, held on October 2016 by a team of residents of the Multi-professional Residence in Family Health in Parnaíba city, Brazil, from October to November 2016. This study aims to discuss the Conference and the assistance policies for homeless people. The conference’s audience was the Health Community Agents (HCA) and nurses from 4 Health Districts. The event allowed discussions about homeless people, recognition policies of this population, existence and quality of the service offered by the Specialized Reference Centre for the Homeless People and case discussions. Thus, the health professionals on Conference had the opportunity to take a fresh look towards the homeless people and raised the possibility of the realization of other events with the same subject intended to professionals from other sectors of the network.
