Housing stipends in NC and FL?

[rnerin]

Hi gang. I hope all you travelers and wanna-bes are doing well. Does anyone out there know what the housing allowances are for NC (Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro, Wilmington, Asheville areas) and FL (Sarasota and Naples)? Thanks for the info.....

I was offered $800 per month last year in Asheville. Sometimes it is negotiable with your company. I know some companies who will give a larger housing stipend but less salary because your housing is not taxable.

From the other travelers I have talked with that work for my same company its around $1100 to $1300 for Florida. Also they have mentioned that its often times not worth the hassel to find ones own housing.

Naples is a nice area and I hear the hospitals are nice there as well. I am currently about 50 miles from there on assignment in Fort Lauderdale. Housing in this area tends to run $1000-$1200 but it all boils down to what your particular company offers. Some offer $800 while others may go as high as $2600. I'm doing stipend money at this time as housing in Southern Florida tends to be easy to find on a short-term basis.
