The urban development and rising cost of living in Johor Bahru had reduced some people to live without any proper homes. The paper discusses the causes of the problem and the physical characteristics of their resting places. It was based on research that was conducted using three methods, namely literature review, unstructured interview and site observation. The findings suggest that the majority of the homeless were local people who tried to find jobs and were choosy in the choice of resting places. The finding of the research could be used as guiding tools in designing a one-stop centre for them.
