Street people

For other uses, see Street people (disambiguation).
Bronze statue of José María López Lledín known as "El Caballero de Paris" in Havana, Cuba, by sculptor Jose Villa Soberon. Unlike the nearby statue of St. Francis, this statue stands simply on the sidewalk and is a popular tourist attraction. The statue's beard has been polished by the hands of people standing to be photographed with it, for luck.

Street people are people who live a public life on the streets of a city.[1][2] Street people are frequently homeless, sometimes mentally ill, and often have a transient lifestyle. The delineation of street people is primarily determined by residential arrangement and their location in the urban setting.[3]
