permanent home
Where you stay
A permanent home is a place of residence intended to be long-term or indefinite, as opposed to temporary lodging.
The phrase appears often in legal and immigration contexts, where establishing a permanent home affects taxation, residency status, or custody arrangements: She declared New York as her permanent home for tax purposes.
It can also carry emotional weight—the place where someone truly belongs: After years of moving, they finally found their permanent home.
