We’re Hiring: Purpose-Driven Housing Specialist (Treasure Valley, ID)
Location: Must be local to the Treasure Valley, ID
Type: 1099 Contractor
Hours: Full-time, 8 AM to 5 PM, Monday through Friday
Work Environment: Remote and work-from-home at this time
Pay: $25/hr
Growth: Opportunity to grow with the company for the right person who aligns with our purpose
At 1st Choice Home Stays, we provide immediate, furnished housing to families displaced by fire, flood, and other emergencies. When families are facing some of the most stressful and uncertain days of their lives, we step in to bring comfort, clarity, and stability. Fast.
As a Housing Specialist, you play a central role in that purpose.
This isn’t just about property coordination or customer service. It’s about stepping into someone’s crisis and helping solve it with professionalism, urgency, and care. You’ll be responsible for getting families placed quickly and making sure their transition feels smooth and supported from start to finish.
What You’ll Do
• Respond to new housing inquiries from insurance companies, partners, or directly from families
• Collect and document key information about housing needs, budgets, and timelines
• Locate and secure available homes from our portfolio or partner properties
• Communicate clearly and professionally with insurance adjusters, clients, and vendors
• Prepare quotes, follow up for approvals, draft lease agreements, and conduct background checks
• Coordinate utilities, Wi-Fi, and cleanings to ensure homes are move-in ready
• Keep systems updated, manage follow-ups, and ensure every detail is tracked and completed
You will be the point person making sure a family goes from “we don’t know where we’re going to live” to “we’re taken care of.”
What We’re Looking For
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
• Ability to work quickly and accurately in a fast-paced environment
• Clear communicator who brings both professionalism and empathy
• A natural problem-solver who takes initiative without needing to be micromanaged
• Comfortable with multiple moving parts and shifting priorities
• Tech-comfortable and willing to learn our systems and tools
• Someone who thrives on helping people and doing work that matters
What Success Looks Like
• Families feel safe, supported, and housed quickly
• Partners and adjusters trust you because you follow through and follow up
• No detail is missed, and no one feels like they fell through the cracks
• You consistently help carry out the purpose of our company with excellence
This Role Is Not For You If
• You see this as just another task list or clock-in job
• You need constant direction or don’t like making independent decisions
• You get overwhelmed easily by fast-moving environments
• You are not coachable
This Role Is a Fit If
• You want your work to directly improve people’s lives
• You feel confident taking ownership of responsibilities from start to finish
• You’re looking for a company where you can grow and make an impact
• You care about doing things well, serving people fully, and bringing order to chaos
• You are coachable and adaptable to ever changing work and environment.
If this sounds like a fit, we’d love to hear from you. Introduce yourself, tell us why this role resonates with you, and what you bring to the table. Resumes are helpful, but who you are and how you show up matters most.
