The objective of this qualitative work, supported by cartographic inspirations, is to understand which ways of life are produced in the experience of Palmas Que Te Acolhe, and how these ways of being and living are based on the street experience. The research process valued the perception of the beneficiaries and workers who are in the project, as well as the researcher's, narrating the encounters performed in this network of relationships and how they are articulated. Thirteen interviews were conducted with beneficiaries and workers, with an average duration of 30 (thirty) minutes, from a semi-structured script, in addition to the Field Diaries to capture the sensations and perceptions produced in this trajectory. Palmas Que Te Acolhe has been contextualized in this paper as a care device based on the Housing First model grounded on the Harm Reduction paradigm.
