Lanyard provides corporate housing solutions for J-1 visa holders, including exchange visitors, interns, and trainees. We help employers secure temporary housing that aligns with program timelines, seasonal workforce needs, and multi-participant placements.
We work directly with employers and program sponsors — not individual visa applicants — to streamline workforce housing logistics across industries nationwide.

Group Housing for J-1 Exchange Visitors
Many employers host multiple J-1 visa holders at the same time. We support multi-person shared housing, centralized placements near host sites, scalable bed counts, and flexible adjustments as participant headcount shifts.
Our creative solutions may include:
- Adding beds or furnishings to maximize occupancy when appropriate
- Combining nearby properties to centralize exchange visitors
- Adjusting layouts to meet budget parameters
- Coordinating same-day deliveries when maintenance delays create timeline risk
Because we do not own inventory, we are not restricted in how we structure group housing.
Transparent Property Sourcing for J-1 Housing
Transparency is critical when housing international exchange visitors. Since we do not own properties, our sourcing process includes:
- Filtering out low public ratings
- Reviewing public feedback
- Providing realistic assessments of property condition
- Encouraging site visits when possible
- Setting clear expectations prior to move-in
We prioritize clarity to protect both the employer and exchange visitor experience.
Coordinated Site Visits for Employers & Sponsors
For larger J-1 placements or recurring programs, we coordinate multi-property site visits so employers and sponsors can evaluate housing options in advance. We manage:
- Tour scheduling
- Communication with housing partners
- Organized walkthrough logistics
- Consolidated feedback
This simplifies planning for seasonal, high-volume, or recurring exchange programs.
Scalable Housing for Recurring J-1 Programs
Many employers host J-1 exchange visitors annually. We support recurring housing strategies by:
- Building repeatable sourcing processes
- Coordinating consistent property partners
- Adjusting housing plans based on prior program experience
- Scaling placements year over year
Our flexible model allows employers to refine and improve housing strategies each season.
