Two citations for work on homelessness in Los Angeles that I have 
found useful are:  

Wolch, Jennifer & Michael Dear.  1993.  Malign neglect : homelessness 
in an American city.  San Francisco : Jossey-Bass Publishers.   

Los Angeles in an era of welfare reform : implications for poor people 
and community well-being / Jennifer Wolch & Heidi Sommer with the 
assistance of Joel Handler and Madeleine Stoner ; project contributors, 
Michael Cousineau ... [et al.]. Los Angeles, CA (1010 S. Flower St. 
#401A, Los Angeles 90015) : Human Services Network, c1997. 
Physical description: 	xxxi, 145 p. : ill., map ; 28 cm. Electronic
