Housing stability is a complex concept to measure. One set of factors under consideration are those based on a personal or subjective sense of stability. We explore the variables associated with subjective stability and explore how subjective stability relates to housing stability across time. We use data from longitudinal, mixed methods research with 85 young people exiting homelessness. We find that subjective stability is a meaningful construct that can be validated through qualitative and quantitative data. The construct is primarily linked to indicators of environmental and social wellbeing. Subjective stability is also one of the only variables with a significant relationship to T2 housing stability. Qualitative analysis is used to explore these relationships in more detail. We conclude that subjective stability can provide holistic insight into the complex life circumstances influencing housing stability. However, this strength introduces complexity in that subjective stability appears to be developed in comparison with past experiences, as well as feelings of forward momentum on goals beyond housing
