Said Elia Wallen, president of Travelers Haven, “We are quickly meeting the rising demand for temporary housing in every market, including major metro areas where finding housing would otherwise be difficult. As our purchasing power grows, we remain committed to passing those savings along to the healthcare staffing industry.”

The Denver-based housing firm also recently announced the addition of 293 new property partnerships, including several in concentrated metropolitan areas.
