The purpose of the essay was to discover how homeless persons want to live. Does it matter what it looks like? The method used was a qualitative study including literature and 10 interviews with ten homeless persons, of which seven lived outdoors and three in temporarily residences. The central questions were the following:How do homeless people want to live?In what sort of houses do they want to live and where?How do they look upon their situation and their future?What obstacles can occur if they for example got an apartment to live in?Are there any proposals to solve the problems?Most of them had been living outdoors for five to ten years, perhaps more, and they were worried and sad about their future. The reasons behind their choice of living could be an earlier living in institutions, drugs, debts and for a man and a woman their only chance to live together. All of them wanted to live in normal flats or houses in the town or in the country. They didn't think that problems would occur. Probably could the neighbourhood complain, therefore they wanted to live in houses alone or with a few people.
