Los Angeles, California, and Berlin, Germany, have been dubbed
"homeless capitals" for having the largest homeless populations of
their respective countries. In Down and Out in Los Angeles and
Berlin, Jurgen von Mahs provides an illuminating comparative
analysis of the impact of social welfare policy on homelessness in
these cities. He addresses the opportunity of people to overcome-or
"exit"-homelessness and shows why Berlin, despite its considerable
social and economic investment for assisting its homeless, has been
almost as unsuccessful as Los Angeles. Drawing on fascinating
ethnographic insights, von Mahs shows how homeless people in both
cities face sociospatial exclusion-legal displacement for criminal
activities, poor shelters in impoverished neighborhoods, as well as
market barriers that restrict reintegration. Providing a necessary
wake-up call, Down and Out in Los Angeles and Berlin addresses the
critical public policy issues that can produce effective services
to improve homeless people's chances to end their homelessness once
and for all.
