Intern Housing
Our solution helps you attract future talent with ease. PorchLight solves the short-term lease dilemma interns face while providing cost containment companies want.
Benchmarking data reports that intern housing is among the top 3 challenges for companies offering intern programs.
If that’s your company’s experience… PorchLight is your solution.
Whether your intern program runs through an RMC or directly through your organization, PorchLight creates the professional support and duty of care interns need while providing the cost containment companies want.
At PorchLight, interns receive personalized, professional rental finding assistance to locate affordable short-term housing. Interns access the housing options on their PorchLight RentLINK app. They choose the options they like best, contact the properties to discuss details and PorchLight reviews the final lease prior to the intern signing. Interns pay the monthly rent and the company pays a one-time service fee, per intern, for PorchLight’s support.
