Homelessness is a complex social phenomenon with characteristics of a social alienation. The issue that it is an individual rather than a social problem partly explains the lack of adequate social response. The phenomenon of homelessness is one of those in society that everyone or at least many are aware of but receive relatively little attention to. The problem of homelessness in Croatia has been largely neglected in terms of a systematic, concrete and clear vision in approaching and working with this group of users. The aim of this thesis was to examine the extent to which students are sensitive to the problem of homelessness and to investigate the extent to which socioeconomic or socio-demographic characteristics of students influence their attitude toward homelessness. Young people and students are generally viewed as a cheerful prospect of the future of society, so in a certain way their attitude and reflection on current affairs and events in society can be seen as a prediction of such events. Students can recognize modernist and traditionalist groups, with the majority striving for a peaceful family life, a high standard of living, a stable professional career and hedonistic forms of relaxation. Despite a radical change in social and political order, they, with few exceptions, have proved to be very similar to the older generations, suggesting that intergenerational transmission of values in Croatia takes place without significant interruption. The results showed that the gender category had a greater sensitivity to the problem of homelessness, so that female students were somewhat more sensitive to the problem. Students who have a more stable financial status toward personal and household income are less vulnerable to homelessness problems. The choice of studies does not affect sensitization to the problem of homelessness, so all students, regardless of their direction of study, are equally sensitized.
