This report of the achievements of an experimental multiservice center in London for older street people begins with reviews of the types of long-term accommodation available for resettlement and the work of its outreach team, 24-hour open access rooms, and residential, assessment, and resettlement services. Two outcomes are examined: whether users returned to the streets and whether they were resettled in long-term housing. Those with alcohol dependency were most difficult to resettle. Logistic regression analyses of the factors influencing the two outcomes indicate that the duration of residence in the center was the the predominant influence.

Key Words: Homeless • Rehabilitation • Resettlement
