I'll assume that you actually have a valid ABPersonRef... This code snippet
will get you what you want:

int                indx;
int                numItems;
CFStringRef        UserData;
CFStringRef        workNumber = nil;
CFStringRef        homeNumber = nil;
ABPersonRef        aPerson;
ABMultiValueRef    aPersonsPhoneNumbers;

//  Get the ABPersonRef for this user
aPerson = DestinationList[item].addressBook.person;
   
//  Get the list of phone numbers for this person
if( (aPersonsPhoneNumbers = (ABMultiValueRef)ABRecordCopyValue( aPerson,
      kABPhoneProperty )) == nil )
        return CFSTR("");

//  How many phone numbers are there ?
numItems = ABMultiValueCount( aPersonsPhoneNumbers );

//  Get the Work & Home Phone Numbers - stop if both number have been found
    for( indx = 0; (indx < numItems) && !workNumber && !homeNumber; ++indx )
    {
      UserData = ABMultiValueCopyLabelAtIndex( aPersonsPhoneNumbers, indx );
      if( !workNumber && CFStringCompare( UserData, kABPhoneWorkLabel, 0 )
        == kCFCompareEqualTo )
            workNumber = (CFStringRef)ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(
aPersonsPhoneNumbers, indx );
      else if( !homeNumber && CFStringCompare(UserData,kABPhoneHomeLabel,0 )
        == kCFCompareEqualTo )
            homeNumber = (CFStringRef)ABMultiValueCopyValueAtIndex(
aPersonsPhoneNumbers, indx );
    }
