This research applies qualitative approach with descriptive research type. The purpose of the study is to observe the social rehabilitation programs for homeless drifters and beggars with Panti Sosial Bina Karya “Pangudi Luhur” as a research location. In this study, the researcher determines to identify the inhibiting factors of the program and the consequences it’s created.
