Abstract
This article explores the role of homeless voices in constructing knowledge about homelessness and the development of policy and service delivery responses to people without homes. Specifically, the article highlights the suggestive value position for social work encapsulated in Honneth’s concept of recognition as a framework from which to understand and incorporate homeless voices in the construction of knowledge about and policy responses to homelessness. The issue of recognition in social welfare provision has frequently been seen as one that can be addressed through service user involvement in the policy, planning and delivery of services. However, as highlighted by Thompson, this presents as an important issue regarding homelessness because significantly more people experience homelessness than those who present at services for assistance.
