There is increasing emphasis on lived experience (LE) engagement in research on homelessness. However, experiential knowledges of youth (implicated as peer researchers, members of advisory councils, or are recruited to share stories) and academic knowledges of researchers co-exist in complex and uneven ways. The diverse knowledges that young people with living and lived experiences of homelessness (PWLLEH) bring to research is a key in addressing homelessness, however, researchers must understand that they are working within institutionalised structures of knowledge production that necessarily tokenise, objectify or even harm young people who are involved -- even when attempting to carry out co-design, participatory, or community-engaged work.
