Overcoming Challenges in Securing Temporary Housing

For many, the journey to securing temporary housing begins with navigating unfamiliar processes at a time when stress is already at its peak. Some of the most common challenges include:

1. Insurance Approval Delays
   One of the biggest hurdles for displaced families is gaining approval from insurance companies for temporary housing. This can involve extensive paperwork, back-and-forth communication, and frustrating delays.
   
   How AVE Helps: AVE simplifies this process by working directly with insurance providers. Our experienced team streamlines the coordination, ensuring that displaced families are placed into housing quickly.


2. Finding Pet-Friendly Options
   Pets are family, and finding housing that accommodates them is often an added layer of stress. Many housing providers impose breed, size, or weight restrictions that leave families scrambling for solutions.
   
   How AVE Helps: AVE properties are fully pet-friendly, with no breed or weight restrictions, so pets are always welcome. This thoughtful policy eliminates worry for families who simply want to keep their furry companions by their side during tough times.


3. Limited Availability in Crisis Areas
   Natural disasters like floods, wildfires, or hurricanes often displace entire neighborhoods, creating a sudden surge in demand for temporary housing. Options can become scarce quickly.
   
   How AVE Helps: AVE is growing nationwide, currently with locations in eight markets – Phoenix, Arizona; Tampa, Florida; Northern New Jersey, the Greater Philadelphia Area, Dallas, Texas; Austin, Texas; the South Bay of San Francisco; and White Plains, New York. Our fully furnished apartments are ready for immediate occupancy, minimizing wait times.

These stories highlight how seamless lifestyle transitions with AVE can make all the difference in a family’s ability to move forward after a disaster.

Practical Steps to Secure Temporary Housing Quickly

When facing displacement, taking proactive steps can significantly ease the process of finding housing. Here are essential actions to get started:

• Step 1: File Your Insurance Claim Immediately
  Time is of the essence after a disaster. As soon as it is safe, contact your insurance provider to file a claim. Document the damage with photos and videos, and keep all related paperwork organized to expedite the approval process.
• Step 2: Leverage Housing Placement Services
  Many insurance companies work with placement agencies like ALE, Alacrity, and National Corporate Housing. These organizations specialize in connecting displaced families with providers like AVE that offer extended-stay temporary housing for fire victims, flood survivors, and more.
• Step 3: Be Clear About Your Needs
  Each family’s situation is unique. Clearly communicate any special requirements to your insurance company and housing provider, such as the need for pet-friendly accommodations, proximity to work or schools, or specific amenities like high-speed internet.
• Step 4: Research Trusted Housing Providers
  Not all housing providers are created equal. Look for options with a proven track record of working with insurance claims and delivering high-quality service. AVE’s reputation for flexibility, comfort, and excellent customer care makes it a standout choice for families in need.
