This study was carried out with the purpose of obtain information about the individuals who live on the streets as homeless in Antalya and about their families, their lives before they became homeless, the reasons for being homeless and how they became homeless, their experiences of being homeless, their problems and their expectations. The study was conducted with a qualitative research method and used a phenomenological model. 20 homeless people were reached by using purposive sampling models. The data were collected by focus group interview, questionnaire and observation. Five main themes were identified. Those are (1) the individual characteristics and social status of the homeless; (2) the situation of the homeless before they started living on the street; (3) reasons for leaving home/family; (4) the life experiences of the homeless on the street and (5) their expectations for the future. Except one, homeless people’s population registers are made in different cities of Türkiye. The main reasons for being homeless are domestic violence, loss in the family, poverty, alcoholism, substance abuse, and gambling addiction. The places where the homeless stay are hospitals, bus stations, mosque courtyards, parks, covered marketplaces, old cars, tents, beaches, pensions, and covered bus stops. Homeless people have communication among themselves, and they inform each other about where they can get free food and where they can stay, especially in their first experience on the street. The reason for each individual’s being homeless is different and it is seen that they have difficulty in getting used to living on the street and that they meet this situation as normal after they get used to it. It is noteworthy that they do not have great expectations from life, they risk death if necessary, and they are uncomfortable with being ostracized by the society. It has been determined that they miss a regular life, they have job expectations, and they think that accommodation problems need to be resolved, and their trust in individuals/institutions has decreased.
