HOUSING
Securing adequate housing can be a challenge when returning to the U.S. on home assignment. We have found it most helpful to reach out to our ministry partners and ask for recommendations as the primary means for long-term housing, but the link below can be helpful if your stay in America is short-term. Resources are listed for all 50 states.
Also, if you have connections to smaller churches in your hometown or state, many of them will also short to long-term economical rentals for missionaries.

CAR RENTAL / PURCHASE
RIGHTEOUS RIDES
Righteous Rides is a car rental company based in St. Louis, MO. They offer discounted long-term rentals and deeply discounted sale vehicles to missionaries.
HEALTH INSURANCE
Health insurance is required (and necessary in the U.S.) and can be a large expense for missionaries returning to the states for a season. Coverage from outside of the U.S. will sometimes cover you for up to 90 days (research this before your arrival). You’ll want to research a variety of options for coverage while stateside, and we recommend you start researching these options early. If you want to use the Marketplace for your coverage, we can connect you with a great broker who helps to maximize the government subsidy you will receive.
