“…The list was finalized to 25 works based on a detailed reading of the 50 articles in relation to the inclusion criteria. Articles were found from Canada (Galabuzi, 2009; LaBonte, 2004; McDonald et al , 2009; Ontario Prevention Clearinghouse, 2006; Sakamoto et al , 2008; Sheehy, 2004; Westfall, 2010); Australia (Arthurson and Jacobs, 2003; Goodwin‐Smith, 2009; Hayes et al , 2008; Hunter, 2009; Walsh, 2006), the UK (Kennedy and Fitzpatrick, 2001; Pleace, 1998; Whiteford, 2011), New Zealand (Hodgetts et al , 2008; Laurenson and Collins, 2006; Porter and Craig, 2004) and the European Union (Caladrino, 2010; Culhane and Byrne, 2011; Frazer and Marlier, 2009; Ramos‐Diaz and Valera, 2010; Silver and Miller, 2003). Two studies were located from the USA (Shinn, 2010; Wright, 2005).…”

“…Individuals have lived experience of homelessness and housing vulnerability that make them uniquely qualified to inform solutions to homelessness and provide information otherwise not available to policy and program planners (Sakamoto et al , 2008). Specific knowledge, understanding and authority on the impact of the physical, mental and emotional conditions of homelessness on health and well‐being rest with those who experience homelessness (Sakamoto et al , 2008). Active participation in solving homelessness begins to address power imbalances that are the source of exclusion and fosters inclusion (Whiteford, 2011).…”

“…Active participation in solving homelessness begins to address power imbalances that are the source of exclusion and fosters inclusion (Whiteford, 2011). Meaningful inclusion can incorporate participation in service planning and delivery (Whiteford, 2011) and identifying and designing solutions to homelessness (Kennedy and Fitzpatrick, 2001; Sakamoto et al , 2008) that acknowledge and address life needs in ways only fully known by those who have been unhoused (McDonald et al , 2009). However, this requires real opportunities for decision‐making and shifts in power relations.…”

confidence: 99%

“…Taken together, these findings suggest that even when housed and opportunities to participate are provided, attention to the context including history, culture and gender among other factors along with the role of power, must be considered as part of any inclusionary policies and practices. Importantly, inclusion means not only authentic participation in decision‐making, but accountability to people who are impacted by programs developed for them and decisions made by others that affect them (Sakamoto et al , 2008).…”

“…Sakamoto et al (2008) directly addressed power imbalances in their research practices by recognizing that people who experience homelessness are best positioned to understand that experience and their knowledge is vital in finding solutions to homelessness. The research approach included anti‐oppressive perspectives acknowledging the assets and skills of individuals, the range of people experiencing oppression and their unique experiences, while focusing on the workings of power and its effects on individuals, families and groups.…”

PurposeWithout the voices of those impacted by homelessness, there is a risk that important understandings essential to the development of effective solutions to homelessness will remain obscured. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the evidence base and insights into recommendations for development and implementation of policies and practices to promote meaningful involvement of people experiencing homelessness as part of a community response to homelessness in a mid‐size Canadian city.Design/methodology/approachA scoping literature review was conducted, focusing on homelessness and social exclusion/inclusion.FindingsBased on this review, the authors provide insights into the processes of social exclusion and inclusion as a beginning place for developing strategies for meaningful engagement in community responses to homelessness. Roots of social exclusion, towards social inclusion and creating social inclusion were three themes which emerged as central to developing inclusionary policy. First, the roots of social exclusion associated with homelessness are located in unequal power relations, highlighting contextual factors that produce exclusion with implications for health and well‐being. Second, towards social inclusion, reflects theoretical perspectives and principles that have been used to inform inclusionary practices. Third, creating inclusion highlights some strategies that can support inclusion for people experiencing homelessness and foster development of inclusionary policy.Originality/valueThere is little evidence of effective practices that promote social inclusion or attention to specific strategies that engage diverse homeless populations that account for gender, ethnicity and other important differences. A key next step is the development of guidelines for social inclusion at the organizational and municipal levels of decision making with those impacted by homelessness.

Participation of people with experiences of homelessness is critical to the development of meaningful strategies to end homelessness. The purpose of this study was to gain insights from people who have been homeless in a mid-sized Canadian city, as to strategies that facilitate meaningful participation in solutions to end homelessness. Within an overarching framework of collaborative research, we collected data through seven focus groups and employed interpretive description as our approach to data analysis. In our analysis, we identified both exclusionary and inclusionary forces that impact participation. Exclusionary forces included being ‘caught in the homelessness industry’, ‘homelessness is a full time job’ and facing stigma/discrimination that make participation a ‘leap of faith’. Inclusionary forces included earning respect and building trust to address unequal power relations, and restoring often ‘taken for granted’ social relations. Specific strategies to enhance participation include listening, valuing skills and stories, and supporting advocacy efforts. The study findings illuminate ways in which power imbalances are lived out in the daily lives of people who experience homelessness, as well as mitigating forces that provide direction as to strategies for addressing power inequities that seek to make participation and social inclusion meaningful.
