Travel nursing at James E. Van Zandt Va Medical Center (Altoona)

2907 Pleasant Valley Boulevard, Altoona, PA 16602 · Veterans Administration · CMS 5★

Housing stipend ceiling (GSA FY2027)

$791/wk

≈ $3,428/month tax-free max for Blair County (standard rate) (lodging $113/night year-round), plus up to $476/wk for meals.

Aim for $2,050–$2,750/month in rent (60–80% of the ceiling). Landlords often price right up to the ceiling; with a stipend at the max, staying in that range keeps about $678–$1,378 a month for you.
