Temporary Housing for COVID Responders

Are you a traveling COVID responder or company? See our guide to temporary housing for COVID responders.

Working as a traveling nurse or doctor can be incredibly fulfilling and invigorating—and during the outbreak of coronavirus pandemic, it can also come with feelings of stress and anxiety.

At Zeus, we know that one way to alleviate those overwhelming feelings is to find a home that makes you feel comfortable. Your home is your sanctuary, the place where you start and end your day, and hopefully—the place that offers respite and rejuvenation during an otherwise crazy time.

If you’re a traveling first responder or company, we’ve put together a guide to temporary housing. From doctors and nurses to every healthcare professional in between, what you do is important (and so is finding the perfect temporary home).

Transplant Housing

Transplant Housing offers temporary housing for COVID-19 nurses or medical workers who are traveling. They believe that nurses are the backbone of the healthcare system and that traveling nurses are an essential part of the overall function of a medical facility. Transplant Housing is unique in that it offers rental properties across the entire United States including Alaska and Hawaii. Nurses can use the website to find housing options in the right area and if they don’t see a nearby property that matches what they’re looking for, they can fill out a form to request housing. With a focus on straightforward and affordable prices, Transplant Housing works to take the hassle out of travel nurse housing. A simplified user experience combined with peace of mind means happy nurses in cities all over the map—from San Francisco, California to Atlanta, Georgia. Check out their Transplant Blog to find some additional resources and reading material.

Hotel Rooms

According to Forbes, there are over 3.4 million hotel rooms available for temporary housing for healthcare workers. Over 15,000 hotels have signed up for a new initiative called “Hospitality for Hope” which connects hotel properties with healthcare workers. These hotel rooms are located close to healthcare facilities to make travel to and from the workplace easy for doctors, nurses, and other healthcare workers. Hilton and American Express teamed up to donate up to one million nights in hotels across America to those on the frontlines for the fight against COVID-19. Through the end of May, these rooms are available for free to nurses, EMTs, paramedics, and medical staff who need a place to sleep or isolate themselves from their families. Marriott Bonvoy did something similar called “Rooms for Responders,” which provides $10 million worth of complimentary hotel stays to healthcare workers in cities that have been heavily affected by the pandemic. Hotels offer a flexible option in temporary housing for doctors and nurses throughout the country.

Corporate Housing

As the need for healthcare workers has increased, so has the need for housing for healthcare workers. Corporate Housing makes finding short term housing easy for doctors and nurses by connecting them with furnished apartments and rentals nationwide. Depending on where your assignment takes you, and how long it lasts, you can browse through the listings in different cities throughout the United States. Select your arrival date and departure date, then choose between hotels and corporate housing companies. The apartments are professionally-serviced and ideal for extended stays. Some locations even include privately owned houses, condos, and vacation properties. Due to the variety of options that Corporate Housing offers, there tends to be a choice in the list for every kind of home-away-from-home renter. For those working on the front lines, it’s especially crucial to have a spot that you can return to and find a peaceful respite after a busy day or night.
