Abstract

This paper analyses the specific relationships between ethnicity, poverty and citizenship in Germany, France and the United Kingdom. It compares the functions of social housing and points out that exclusion is reinforced when social housing is devalued. France and Germany, with their housing policies for the poor which claim to be colour blind, are compared with and opposed to those of the UK where ethnic monitoring is now incorporated as an aspect of housing policy practice.
