Temporary Housing for Healthcare Workers

Are you a traveling healthcare worker or company? See our guide to temporary housing for healthcare workers.

Healthcare workers are integral to our society. And at Zeus, we know that good housing is critical for success at work. During unprecedented times like those we are experiencing with the COVID-19 pandemic, comfortable and reliable temporary housing for healthcare workers is more important than ever.

Whether you’re looking for RVs, hotels, or luxury homes, our team has put together a guide to temporary housing for healthcare workers to help you get started on your home search. Let’s dive in.

 

RVShare

RVShare is the world’s largest peer-to-peer RV rental marketplace. They’ve partnered with RVs 4 Meds, a group that connects first responders to RV owners during times of crisis, to offer temporary housing for healthcare workers. With over 100,000 RVs across the country, RV Share provides cost-effective housing and a place of comfort during an otherwise difficult time. If you’re interested in browsing to see what sort of rentals they offer, take a look at their website. You can use filters to search on whether or not the RV is drivable (or towable), how many people it can sleep, and where you’d like to pick it up or drop it off. If you’re a nature lover, RVShare offers a comfortable way to find a spot to set up and enjoy the peacefulness that comes with setting your own agenda. From being near the beach to a spot near the forest, the options are endless when it comes to where you can park your temporary home.

Hotels for Hope

Hotels for Hope, organized by the American Hotel & Lodging Association, is known for making an impact in the hospitality industry. At no cost to those who book with them, they donate $2 per room night to help kids live happier lives. Now, with the global coronavirus pandemic, they have partnered with more than 6,500 properties nationwide to connect healthcare workers to temporary housing. All that has to be done to get connected to a room is fill out a form (it’s good to note that this process takes between 2 and 3 days). Keep in mind that Hotels for Hope are masters at the art of hotel partnerships. They’re used to aligning hotels on a local, regional, national, and global basis—so you can rest assured that when you book with them, you’re in good hands.

If you’re looking for temporary housing for healthcare workers in the New York City area, Aya offers fully furnished bedrooms across the city that are ready for move-in. With fast WiFi and extra utilities, Aya’s apartments help you feel right at home after a day of work. Flexible leasing options make things easier if you’re not sure how long you’ll be working out of state. Their professional cleaning team takes care of the apartment so you don’t have to worry about it, and their designers ensure a cozy, comfortable space where you can recharge. The rooms are also budget-friendly and start as low as $800 a month (with larger rooms increasing in cost). What’s convenient about Aya is that you can choose your neighborhood and your max price then browse to see what’s available.

National Community Renaissance

National Community Renaissance is a Southern California based nonprofit that builds and manages workforce housing. They typically specialize in affordable, multifamily, mixed-income, senior, and special needs housing, but with the progression of COVID-19, the company is offering free hotel rooms for nursing home and hospital workers. In their own words, they “build and manage high-quality affordable housing” and aspire to “be a source of hope for our residents.” Whether they’re providing temporary housing for COVID-19 nurses or families, we appreciate how proactive National CORE is. As part of a plan to help their residents, they’ve created a COVID-19 Emergency Response and Resilience Fund. Individuals looking to help can donate, create a care bag, or volunteer to help facilitate resilience in the communities.

It covers more than 25,000 properties nationwide with a focus on stays that are 30 days or longer. Whether you’re looking for a townhouse, condo, or apartment, submit your housing request, and a host in the area will reach out. This is a great resource if you’re searching for temporary housing for healthcare workers, as it comes equipped with a travel nurse stipend calculator. With this tool, traveling nurses can figure out average rents for an entire unit versus a room in a certain city. They can also see what amenities are included to help estimate housing costs for a particular travel nursing assignment.

All reservations, whether free or discounted, are responsible for paying a one-time cleaning fee. The homes are fully furnished and professionally sanitized, per CDC recommendations. They come in a variety of sizes, depending on how large or small your group is.
