The Prior Living Situation is where your client was staying before entering your project. The Exit Destination is where your client will be living after exiting your project.
Why does this matter? We use Prior Living Situation, Current Living Situation, and Destination to determine who is homeless in our community. We also compare exit destination to prior living situation to determine who became housed while participating in a given project.
