Sombody use "vagrants" in a sentence for me?

Question

i'm not sure i understand it. are vagrants like hobos?

Answer 1

Vagrant means a person who has no permanent home,no employment, spending their days generally hanging out in public places. Hoboes (correct plural), has a similar meaning but not quite. Vagrants has a negative connotation. Hoboes is more of a folksy meaning because they used to hop on trains and travel the country, stopping to work for a day/few to make a little money; yes they stole sometimes but generally not. Some people even envied the idea of the freedom of the hoboes to be free to travel around.

A vagrant is a person, usually poor, who wanders from place to place without a home or regular work. Urban vagrants are commonly called "street people". Some towns have shelters for vagrants, such as The Rescue Mission in Syracuse, New York
