description This article uses a few specific examples to demonstrate how the social capital which facilitates the successful integration of young people into a low income housing environment becomes a handicap as soon as one gets out of it, whether in terms of educational or professional advancement. The first part deals with the methodological and theoretical context of the research, and then briefly reviews a few important facts regarding low income housing. The second part deals with the norms of the peer group and the way these norms operate out of their original context, becoming a handicap whereas they were previously a capital. The third part deals with the influence of what I propose to call the « vertical network » (elder brothers, family, school) on the social and cultural capital and curriculum. The last part discusses the link between the relative openness of a social network and the corresponding handicap it constitutes for professional and school inclusion.
