Summary/Abstract: Homelessness is a non-homogenous social problem, not easy to diagnose. In Poland there is still a deficit in research regarding this issue and studies conducted so far focus for example on the question of homelessness itself, marginalisation resulting from it, analysis of the social environment of the homeless, heterotopy of homelessness and presentation of practical solutions aimed at this group of beneficiaries (e.g. aid programmes, activity of specific institutions). In recent years, a system of shelters has been established allowing the homeless "to survive". However, more often than not they reinforce the existing condition rather than allow for overcoming it. One of the elements which are a decisive factor in the process of overcoming homelessness involves finding, taking up and sustaining work. Professional activity means performing a specific job. In case of the homeless the option of obtaining a job is connected with a number of difficulties. Remembering about that, the author of the herein article has attempted to discuss the issue of employment activation of the homeless.
