Objective: To understand the needs, expectations, and care production of people in street situations.

Method: This is a qualitative study based on social phenomenology, conducted with eight people in street situations. Data were collected through a phenomenological interview from September to December, 2016.

Results: The needs of participants refer to survival and access to health services. Care production involves physico-biological, spiritual, and affective-social aspects. The expectations of these people involve a desire for health care that considers their singularities and offers them social apparatuses.

Final Considerations: This study has contributions to the practice, training on health, and nursing in collective health, regarding care planning and provision to the population in street situations based on their expectations and lifestyles, considered as tools to help fulfill the health needs of this social group.
