Aims: This study explored community integration within a Moving On initiative that assisted individuals with the transition from permanent supportive housing (PSH) to more independent housing without service requirements.
Methods: Participants completed baseline interviews while in PSH (n = 90) and, for those who moved on, a follow-up 1-year post-move (n = 45). Bivariate analyses and OLS regression were used to examine community integration outcomes and potential correlates.
Results: For participants who moved on, subjective social quality of life and sense of community were higher post-move, while physical integration decreased, and time spent at home increased. Gender, mastery, and housing quality were associated with community integration post-move.
Conclusion: Moving On did not adversely impact most aspects of community integration, though PSH residents may need more support to facilitate participation in routine activities outside their home post-move. Findings also highlight the importance of supporting mastery given its potential role in community integration.
