SUMMARY:

The collective actions of popular social movements are planned and executed by the leaders through dialogue with the bases, the conjunctural understanding of the socio-political scenario and the possibility of building public policies for vulnerable populations. Among these populations, there are people in streets situation: a heterogeneous group, which has in common the lack of housing, extreme poverty and fragile and/or interrupted family ties. Literature points out that people living on the streets have difficulties in organizing because they lack the element of class consciousness and the feeling of belonging to the social group to which they belong. In spite of that, in 2005, the National Movement of the Homeless Population emerged. Since then, the MNPR has expanded throughout the national territory and is present in 18 states of the federation. In the Northeast Region, it is present in 4 states on a consolidated basis and has been strengthened to be implemented in the other 5 states in the region. Therefore, the general objective of this research was to understand the process of formation of leaders and their role in the National Movement of the Homeless Population. As specific objectives, the work aimed to investigate the personal history of leadership militancy; characterize the history of formation of the movement in states in the Northeast region and the role of leaders in this process; investigate the process of articulation and strengthening of the movement in the Northeast region and record the actions taken to protect the homeless population during the pandemic. Methodologically, semi -structured interviews were carried out, 6 of them via videoconference and two in person with the leaders of the MNPR in the Northeast, in addition to participating in online meetings to strengthen the movement in the region and other activities of militancy that made it possible to monitor the performance of the leaders. Thus, we identified that the action of leaders to strengthen the region is guided by the rescue and preservation of the historical memory of the Movement's social struggle, especially when permeated by the signs defended by Maria Lúcia Santos Pereira. Furthermore, it was possible to understand the disputes and dissensions intertwined in the relationships of the leaders among themselves, between the social base and with the State. And, finally, we identified how the networks of partnerships set up by the MNPR leaders support their collective actions in each state.
