helm-find-files start on a specific directory

[Ribonous]

Is there a way to define an Emacs command (that I could bind to a keyboard shortcut), and that would call helm-find-files to start in a specific directory (e.g. my home directory)?

I noticed that sometimes the default directory for helm-find-files is not ideal (e.g. hundreds of thousands of files on a network path), so I would to invoke it on a specific location when that is the case.

Thanks!

Lukas.

(defun my-find-files ()
(interactive)
(helm-find-files-1 "~/"))

But from anywhere when using helm-find-files, you have shortcuts to
reach home directory, root or default directory, see help (C-c ?)

I tried the code suggested
(defun my-find-files ()
 (interactive)
 (helm-find-files-1 "~/text-files"))

when it try it I get
Smbols function definition is void:   helm-find-files-1

I found what was wrong it should have had this above it
(require 'helm-files)
