Avant Supported Living•Columbia, MO

10d•$3,000 - $5,000

About The Position

We are looking for partners to join the "Front Guard." This isn't a shift-work job. It’s a shared-living opportunity for high-performers—entrepreneurs, remote workers, or career changers—who want to leverage their home to create a life of impact and financial freedom. The Power of Sharing We create custom housing solutions where everyone has a seat at the table. You aren't "supervising" someone; you are sharing a life. You’re sharing your kitchen, your neighborhood, and your perspective. In return, you get to witness someone move from being a "consumer" of care to an active driver of their own life. You are the mentor who helps them bridge the gap between where they are and where they want to be. A Day in the Life: Lifestyle Integration We design these roles to ensure you aren't on a 24/7 grind. We wrap a professional support team around every home so you can maintain your own career or business while making a massive impact  . Morning: You start the day with coffee and a quick sync. You’re helping your housemate plan their day—maybe they’re heading to a job, a volunteer gig, or a micro-business they’re launching. You aren't doing it for them; you’re coaching them through the logistics. The Mid-Day Gap: While you’re working your remote job or running your business, our support mentors are often in the home or out in the community with your housemate. You have the space to be you. Evening Belonging: You gather for a shared dinner. This is where you use your Strategic Grit to help your housemate navigate social complexities, manage a personal budget, or explore a passion project  . You might spend an hour helping them navigate interpersonal relationships or teaching them a new skill—like how to use an app to track their budget. Night: The house is quiet. You have the peace of mind knowing you’ve provided a sanctuary of belonging while drastically lowering your own cost of living. The Financial Strategy: Two Paths to a Win-Win We offer two distinct ways to partner with us, depending on your goals: The Professional Host (The Tax-Free Stipend): If you own or rent your own home and want to welcome someone in, you act as an independent partner. You receive a tax-free stipend (under IRS Difficulty of Care rules). Because this money isn't taxed, $3,000 to $5,000 a month feels like a significantly higher salary. It’s the ultimate lifestyle arbitrage: your mortgage or rent is covered, your utilities are offset, and you’re building wealth while building a life of purpose. The Live-In ISL Manager (The W-2 Path): If you want a more traditional career structure with the benefits of shared living, this is for you. You live in a custom-designed Avant home. Your housing and utilities are 100% paid for , and you receive a W-2 salary . This is for the leader who wants to manage a small site-based team and prefers the stability of a standard paycheck and benefits while eliminating their largest personal expense: rent. Who You Are You possess Strategic Grit . You don’t wait for permission to solve a problem. You see a barrier and you find a way around it because you care more about the person than the paperwork. You’re ready to trade the "standard" life for an avant-garde one. Avant-Garde Examples The Entrepreneurial Host: A Professional Host who runs a small woodworking business shares their home with an individual who has autism. The host mentors the individual on shop safety and basic assembly, eventually helping them sell their first piece at a local farmers market. The Debt-Free Manager: A Live-In ISL Manager uses the 100% housing coverage and W-2 salary to pay off $40k in student loans in two years, all while leading a team of mentors to help three individuals move from an institution into their first real home.
