Abstract     Having initially defined the idiomatic term "clochard", the author presents a short historical survey of the phenomenon, laying stress on its legal status in the Slovenian territory since the end of the previous century. This is followed by a description of the Shelter for the Homeless, founded within the Centre for Social Work of the Ljubljana-Centre municipal unit in 1989. The activities of the Shleter are presented from the point of view of efficacy and efficiency: while their efficiency is very good, their efficacy is hardly satisfactory. Finally, the data are presented on the extension of the problem in Slovenia (outside Ljubljana) as seen in the centres for social work. The data obtained from the interviews with the key workers in the centres show that the extent of homelessness is not alarming but that the activities of the centres are dull.
