Shifting margins of housing status in Los Angeles

Article Abstract:

Homelessness and housing problems in Los Angeles, CA, are likely to increase through welfare reform, with LA demonstrating more dramatic shifts in housing circumstances in the 1980s than elsewhere in the US. The housing situation of the most affluent was enhanced, but the problems of the precariously housed worsened as their numbers grew at twice the national rate. African-Americans, female-headed households and the young were more likely to become precariously housed in LA than elsewhere in the US. Asians became the least likely to have generous housing circumstances.
