The homeless person is thought to be different. Whereas we get to
determine our difference or sameness, the homeless person's
difference is imposed upon them and assumed to be known because of
their homelessness. Exclusion from housing - either a commodity
that should be accessed from the market or social provision -
signifies the homeless person's incapacities and failure to
function in what are presented as unproblematic social systems.
Drawing on a program of research spanning ten years, this book
provides an empirically grounded account of the lives and
identities of people who are homeless. It illustrates that people
with chronic experiences of homelessness have relatively
predictable biographies characterised by exclusion, poverty, and
trauma from early in life. Early experiences of exclusion continue
to pervade the lives of people who are homeless in adulthood, yet
they identify with family and normative values as a means of
imaging aspirational futures.
