The Challenge
A staffing agency needed to quickly house 20 employees for a long-term project near Grand Rapids. The stakes were high—delays in housing could delay the entire project. The client’s requirements included:
- Properties that allow corporate leases
- Housing located close to the job site
- A strict budget
- All employees housed in the same location
Sourcing this volume of housing—under these constraints and in a competitive market—would’ve taken weeks of research. The client needed a partner who could move fast and handle the logistics.
Our Solution
Sourced the market and presented three vetted housing options, all close to the job site
Coordinated directly with property managers
Handled negotiation, paperwork, corporate applications, and move-in logistics
Centralized all 20 employees in a single apartment complex just 3 miles from work
Why It Worked
Speed
We delivered options in under two weeks
Centralized housing
All 20 employees were placed in one convenient location
Cost savings
Choosing apartments over hotels saved the client over 60% in housing costs
End-to-end support
We continued to manage lease extensions, furniture delivery, and property communications long after move-in
The Outcome
- ✓ 100% of employees housed on time
- ✓ Zero project delays
- ✓ Significant cost savings
- ✓ Streamlined onboarding and smooth team coordination
- ✓ One satisfied client, ready to work with us again
