This study examines why people leave permanent housing and what happens to them. It describes the experience of the approximately 943 residents of permanent supportive housing in Philadelphia from 2001 to 2005. The study shows that it is not necessarily a “bad thing” when people,(particularly those with substance abuse issues or disabilities) leave “permanent” supportive housing and contributes to the understanding of how the structure of permanent supportive housing and various means of stabilization at critical junctures in a resident’s stay can promote more stability and thereby, greater health and independence, among those residents, regardless of whether they stay or leave.
