How Travel Nurses Actually Book Housing — And Why Livly Is the Key to Getting in Front of Them

If you’ve heard that travel nurses find housing through sites like Furnished Finder or Facebook groups, you’re not wrong — but that’s just one small piece of the puzzle.

The truth is, the majority of travel nurse bookings — especially the reliable, well-paying ones — happen behind the scenes, through internal portals built for large healthcare staffing firms like CHG Healthcare, Adecco, Aya Healthcare, and others.

And unless your listings are in those portals, you’re not even in the conversation.

🧑‍⚕️ Travel Nurses Are Big Business

Travel nurses and allied healthcare professionals move from city to city every few months, filling critical staffing shortages in hospitals, clinics, and rehab centers.

With over 1.7 million temporary healthcare workers placed annually across the U.S., it’s a massive industry with consistent, recurring housing demand — and they’re not just looking for any place to stay. They need:

• Fully furnished housing

• Flexible 30–90 day lease terms

• Safe neighborhoods near hospitals

• Pet-friendly options (often)

• Transparent, easy booking

🧭 More Than Just Furnished Finder

While Furnished Finder and Facebook groups are common starting points, most high-volume travel nurse placements are coordinated through centralized housing platforms run by the staffing agencies themselves.

These agencies are under pressure to:

• House dozens (or hundreds) of nurses at a time

• Track budgets, safety, and property compliance

• Avoid risky, unverified listings

• Streamline the housing process for recruits

That’s why major staffing firms have developed internal housing portals — secure platforms where their staff can log in, browse pre-approved listings, and book housing directly.

Think of it like the corporate travel portals used by Fortune 500 companies, but for healthcare.

🏡 Where Livly Comes In

Livly is the missing link.

We partner directly with major staffing agencies to white-label and feed professionally managed rentals into their internal housing portals.

Here’s how it works:

1. You list your properties on Livly (must meet professional standards)

2. Livly syndicates your listings to the internal booking tools used by our staffing partners

3. Nurses and recruiters can book instantly—just like they would a hotel or Airbnb

4. You get direct, verified, mid-term stays—with support and payment protection

This bypasses the guesswork of public listing platforms and puts your property in front of decision-makers booking dozens of placements at once.

💼 Trusted by Healthcare Giants

Livly is rapidly becoming a trusted housing source for travel nurse agencies and corporate medical staffing providers. By integrating into their existing tech stacks, we make it easy for their teams to:

• Browse real-time availability

In other words — we give them the tools they need, and we give you direct access to their demand.
