Housing Built for J-1 Programs

Flexible housing aligned with program timelines

Nationwide sourcing for all market types

Scalable from individual placements to group deployments

Employers who host J-1 exchange visitors need housing that is flexible, organized, and scalable. 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.

We do not own inventory. That's our advantage.

Instead of limiting you to a preset list of units, we source from furnished apartments, single-family homes, extended-stay hotels, and short-term rentals to build customized housing strategies tailored to your exchange program.

Temporary Housing for J-1s

J-1 programs are designed for temporary work-based learning, internships, structured training, research, and cultural exchange initiatives. Employers often need housing for:

Hospitality and seasonal exchange visitors
Camp counselors
Interns and trainees
Research scholars and participants
Healthcare exchange programs
Industrial and manufacturing training placements

We build housing solutions that align with program duration, supervision requirements, and workforce needs.

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
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.

Exchange visitors
Property managers
Housing partners

Lanyard centralizes communication to prevent email overload and reduce confusion. We act as the single point of contact to streamline updates, documentation, and housing logistics.

Transparent Sourcing

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.
