reinhabit
Return to dwell
To reinhabit is to inhabit again—to return to and occupy a place that was previously abandoned or left: After the war, refugees slowly reinhabited their villages.
The word applies to physical spaces but extends to abstract territories: She's trying to reinhabit a sense of purpose after retirement.
Less common than alternatives like reoccupy or resettle.
