  This study seeks to identify the main characteristics among homeless people that distinguish former state wards who have drifted from child protection into homelessness from their homeless peers. Due to the multiple accumulation of disadvantages and deprivations, the analysis pays particular attention to former Roma women in state care. The study also seeks to identify the main characteristics that distinguish homeless adults living with their children in temporary family shelters operating as part of child protection from their homeless peers who use homeless services operating within the framework of adult protection. 
  The study seeks answers to these questions by analyzing data from the annual February 3th National Homeless Survey, which covers thousands of respondents. In the language of numbers, simple statistical analysis reveals the main determinants (some of which are determined at birth) that accumulate into disadvantages through the functioning of society and large systems , thereby increasing the likelihood that someone will sooner or later end up in the system we refer to here as "adult protection" after having been in the system known as "child protection," and that their children will inevitably follow the same path.

  How do social workers see their work, their calling? What changes did they go through, and how did they value these? To have an answer, I interviewed 13 social workers of a city in 2006 and in 2016 and 2017.

  The interviewees have already changed their workplace and gone through other changes in their life, which they experienced differently. Most of them showed alternations in their attitude toward their work, one-third presented prolonged changes in their internal thinking and personality. They sense and follow changes in their profession, and in the society. Almost all of them think that they have the opportunity to find a new job either up to their circumstances or their personal qualities.

  The outcome of this research can contribute to the general opinion about social workers’ career path, about which information is usually gathered during their studies.
