Experience report describing a part of the activities done with the homeless population of Salvador, Bahia in order to confront Covid-19. This initiative occurred through the articulation of a collective (group) linked to universities with a program of the state government that works with homeless persons. The main activities developed were: the articulation between the two teams to contribute to the adaptive process of working in this new context, the dialogue with the street population and the strengthening of the social awareness network. The experiences throughout the work process highlighted basic issues in social structuring such as poverty, helplessness, racism, desistance and inequalities. The pandemic exposed the complexity of social inequality and the urgency of a society engaged in repairing existing weaknesses.
