The present work consisted in applying the category Resilience to the study of exhomeless of the central arca of São Paulo that searched for another way of living, in the sense of acknowledging the contribution that this concept can give to the equation of health actions, particularly of mental health, directed to homeless population in the context of Brazilian bigcities. In this case study, four adults and one child egressed from a group of homeless of a central arca of São Paulo city were selected. From the investigato^ly point of view, they were considered as possible resilients, that is, carriers of the human capacity of coping with life adversities, of overcoming them and of getting out of them strengthened or even transformed. Based on open and semi-structured interviews, photographs, field diaries and observation techniques, an ethnographical description of housing was accomplished, as well as a description of the subjects’ present and previous way of living, their psychological characteristics and their interaction with
the environment in which they were living or lived before. Based on their trajectory, these subjects were positively considered as resilients, with the help of the heuristic concepts of “search for
meaning” and internal and external “fixed points”, which were identified in the subjects. Finally, the importance of the concept of resilience in studies of this nature is stressed, not to mention the need of diffusion for its effective application to the arca of Public Health.
