    AbstractIn today's society, the most destitute, and particularly those forced to live outdoors, are deprived of everything: work, money, accommodation,family, etc. Their body is the sole and last resource they have, but is subject to over-exploitation in response to the physical and social survival environment in which they live. Many homeless people have a chaotic life trajectory, often starting in childhood, leaving them with little hope for improvement. How can we adapt medical and social care to each individual? All members of society must question their place and function if precariousness is to bedealt with effectively.
