The therapeutic residences are dwellings inserted in the community, destined to ex- patients of long admission in psychiatric hospitals that allow the social insertion of these people. Qualitative research was performed through semi-structured interviews, which sought to understand the meaning of living for residents of Therapeutic Residences. Participated in the research, five residents of Therapeutic Residences located in cities in the metropolitan region of southeastern Brazil. The thematic analysis of the contents indicated nuclei of meaning that evidenced the home and the dwelling, linked to the presence of the family, to freedom, to autonomy, to protection and as milestones of the rupture of this locus of existence, psychic suffering and hospitalization. It is pointed out the importance of the participation of the ex-inmate of the psychiatric hospital in the process of moving from hospitalization to therapeutic residency.
