In the Philadelphia Geriatric Center's innovative project Community Housing for the Elderly (CH), the experimental group of tenants was compared with two control groups of people who also applied to CH: those who moved elsewhere and those who failed to move. This paper describes the project, reviews previous findings (at 6-month post-move followup CH tenants had fared best), analyzes reasons the individuals in all groups had wished to move, presents data on predictors of moving/not moving, and traces the whereabouts of the subjects 3 years later.
