On Wednesday, Father Julio Lancellotti met with Supreme Court (STF) ministers Alexandre de Moraes, Flávio Dino, and Cármen Lúcia to address the enforcement of the constitutional provisions regarding the treatment of homeless individuals. The meeting centered around the ADPF 976, a ruling that prohibits the forced removal of homeless people or their belongings from the streets. This legal framework aims to protect the rights of vulnerable populations and ensure their dignity in urban areas.

During the discussions, Father Julio emphasized the Supreme Court's decision from 2023, which mandates local governments to prevent hostile architectural practices that hinder access to public services for homeless individuals. He voiced concerns raised by Minister Cármen Lúcia about the substantial barriers these individuals face in obtaining voter registrations, which is crucial for their participation in the democratic process.

As a result of the meeting, it was agreed that Father Julio would compile a list of actionable proposals to further address these issues and enhance support for the homeless population. The collaborative nature of this dialogue reflects the increasing awareness and commitment among Brazilian authorities to improve the living conditions and rights of those who are homeless.
