The fact of homelessness, whose visibility increases along with the growth of cities, is a trouble that humanity has had difficulties in struggling from past to present and cannot be solved. In particular, the injustices accompanied with globalization have brought new classification of poverty to the agenda. The homeless, who are included at the bottom of this classification, are considered as an undesirable segment that society excludes, ignores, or even fears. In recent days, we are witnessing a significant development that has awakened this adverse condition in which the homeless are included. It is unquestionable that this development is the Covid-19 pandemic. “Globalization of this disease",- which is expected but not be prepared as much as it seems- and which is brought about by globalization, causes a great devastation for the homeless. Potential for the economic and psychological destruction of the pandemic to cause homelessness, on the one hand, and being at great risk for the homeless both for themselves and for the society they live, on the other hand, are issues that need to be seriously considered and for which appropriate policies should be produced. The study focuses on the fact of homelessness that is not of much interest in Turkey but is a big problem in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic and opens the door to the relevant article on the axis of the dimensions of homelessness in the world and in Turkey.
