The present dissertation defined, as a main goal, to analyse the influence of Social Welfare Policy in the life of vulnerable families. In order to guide this analisis and make it interact with reality, three specific objectives were chosen: - deepening the knowledge of the policy of protection earmarked to these families; - introduce the territory where this policy is implemented and its weaknesses, more specifically in the district of Cidade Ademar, in the Southern Area of São Paulo, - and assist a social worker in its professional job, from a critical reading of reality, and aiming at strenghening its compromisse with the ethical-political Project of Social Welfare, within a new Social Welfare Policy. This is inspiring a reflexion over the latter’s responsability with these families, whom are presenting many different degrees of vulnerability and do not make it through the circle of extreme poverty. We analysed very carefully these families’ profile and the specificities of this Southern Area of São Paulo, identifying situations of environmental degradation, excessively tough for being a residential area, situations of sociospacial segregation and of high vulnerability. We then reflected more on the intense process of expansion and of “peripherization” of the favelas and the absence of the Brasilian State. We used a qualitative method of search, appealing to technics of interview with four groups of relatives, in an attempt to grasp how they perceive this policy of protection, within the National Social Welfare Policy, their conception of family and the presence of a sociofamilial matrix. Facing this reality, we will find out that the Social Welfare Policy do not succeed in reaching the families in situation of extreme poverty whom do not take the initiative of looking for the existing public services of protection on their territory
