Homeless sims are a type of NPC (non-playable character) that typically exist to fulfill roles and services. Some are spawned so that your regular resident sims have a boss or enough co-workers if there aren't enough resident sims around to take up that profession.

But the game will keep spawning new NPCs as it thinks it needs them. Overwatch can remove the homeless from your town each night and Register can be used to specify who gets placed into the role and service slots if you want that level of control. (those are two other NRaas mods)
