description This work analyses the difficulties encounter to determine who should be considered a homeless person in a developing country, and the result of a point‐in‐time count of homeless people done in the city of Leon (185,000 inhabitants), Nicaragua. Throughout the point‐in‐time count, 82 unduplicated persons living homeless were tallied (76% male; 23% female); 11% were under age. Half of the homeless detected seemed to have problems related to mental health, alcohol and drugs, and/or wounds, dermatological or dental problems. Sixty‐nine percent showed a bad physical appearance, 74% had poor personal hygiene, and 80% had the dirty or very dirty clothes.
