Italian term or phrase: il proprio giaciglio
Not sure if "home" would be a better choice here, for kids living on the streets in paraguay, pls see below thanks

Questi bambini hanno fatto della strada il proprio giaciglio, la propria professione, la loro maestra di vita oltremodo severa, eccessiva, invadente.
Hijos del Sol vuole essere un’alternativa concreta alla strada per tanta parte dell’infanzia del Paraguay.
Si tratta di un centro di accoglienza per i bambini e gli adolescenti che lavorano e vivono sulla strada, sito nella zona centralissima di Asunción, la capitale.

into their own home
Explanation:
Although this is slightly removed from the literal meaning, one of these options might fulfill the idea and match the context in an "English" way.

neutral  Lara Barnett: Nest would not really fit the context. This word is used more for a real domestic environment.
