Summary: "The purpose of the Panel Study was to examine longitudinally the housing trajectories of persons who are homeless. The primary objective of the study was to identify factors that affect homeless persons' ability to exit homelessness and achieve housing stability. A secondary objective was to assess the relationship between housing status and health functioning. This final report of the second phase of the study locates the study in the relevant research literature; describes the implemented methodology; reports the results of quantitative and qualitative analyses; interprets the results in the context of previous research; and discusses the policy and program implications of the findings"--Executive summary.
