looking for a verb?

Hi colleagues! today while I was teaching a lesson about life of children who lost their parents and the problems they may face. Among the problems, I wrote they may become vagrants. or become tramps. one of my students asked me if there were other synonyms for these expressions but in one word. she means just one verb instead of become a vagrant or become a tramp. I thought of displaced but I was sure that it was not the exact word/verb. Can you elp me please? Thanks a lot for your help.

Children who lose their parents become orphans.
They may also become street children or homeless.
You don �t often hear of children becoming vagrants or tramps - those expressions usually pertain to adults.
vagrants or tramps are nouns. They can also be displaced persons.
