This term is commonly used in social services, law enforcement, and government policy discussions in both the USA and Brazil. In Brazil, it often refers to both homeless individuals and those temporarily passing through cities. The term carries social policy implications, as both countries have developed programs and legal frameworks specifically addressing the needs of transient persons. In Portuguese-speaking contexts, the phrase emphasizes temporary status, while in English-speaking contexts it may also imply legal or residential classification.
