Corporate Relocation Housing Application

Streamline Corporate Relocations with a Professional Housing Application Form

Employee relocations are complex, high-stakes transitions that require careful coordination between HR teams, property managers, and relocating families. This Corporate Relocation Housing Application template provides a structured, professional way to collect all the information you need to support employees through their move—from temporary accommodation to permanent housing, moving expense reimbursements, and school district preferences.

Why Your Organization Needs a Dedicated Relocation Form

Whether you're managing relocations for a handful of executive hires or coordinating dozens of transfers each year, a purpose-built form helps you:

• Centralize all relocation details in one place, eliminating scattered emails and missing information
• Understand housing preferences early so you can match employees with suitable neighborhoods and properties
• Process moving expense reimbursements efficiently with clear documentation from day one
• Support families with children by capturing school district priorities and educational needs
• Differentiate between temporary and permanent housing needs to coordinate staged relocations
• Speed up decision-making with all stakeholder information collected upfront

This template is designed for HR teams, relocation coordinators, corporate housing providers, and internal operations teams managing employee moves as part of hiring, promotions, or office expansions.

What Makes This Template Work for Corporate Relocations

This form goes beyond basic rental applications by addressing the unique requirements of corporate moves:

Employee and family information captures not just the relocating employee but also accompanying family members, emergency contacts, and current living situation—essential context for understanding the scope of the move.

Relocation details clarify the reason for the move, start dates, and whether the company is covering costs, giving your team visibility into budget, urgency, and policy compliance.

Temporary housing needs let employees indicate whether they'll need short-term accommodation while house hunting or waiting for their permanent home to be ready, with specific date ranges and location preferences.

Permanent housing preferences capture everything from home type and size to budget, lease versus purchase intentions, must-have amenities, pet requirements, and accessibility needs—helping you narrow down suitable properties quickly.

School district and education priorities are critical for relocating families. The form collects ages, grades, and preferred school districts so you can coordinate housing searches with school catchment areas.

Moving expense reimbursement fields create a clear paper trail for approved expenses, from professional movers to travel costs, with space to upload receipts and invoices.

Timeline and additional requirements ensure nothing falls through the cracks, whether it's vehicle shipping, storage needs, or special requests.

Designed for HR Teams and Relocation Coordinators

If you're an HR manager, talent acquisition lead, or relocation specialist, you know that employee moves are stressful—for the employee and for your team. This form:

• Reduces back-and-forth by collecting comprehensive information upfront
• Creates consistency across all relocations, ensuring policy compliance
• Provides documentation for finance, legal, and leadership review
• Improves employee experience by showing you've thought through their needs

For property managers and corporate housing providers working with relocating employees, this form gives you everything you need to make suitable recommendations and close placements faster.

Automate What Happens Next with Stepper

Once a relocation application is submitted, there's usually a lot that needs to happen: housing searches, expense approvals, temporary booking confirmations, school enrollment support, and more. Stepper (stepper.io), Paperform's AI-native workflow automation tool, can turn each submission into a coordinated process:

• Route applications to the right internal teams (HR, finance, facilities) based on relocation type or expense thresholds
• Trigger automated emails to relocating employees with next steps, timelines, and local resources
• Create tasks in your project management system for each stage of the relocation
• Update your HRIS or internal tracking tools with relocation details
• Send notifications to partnered real estate agents or corporate housing providers
• Flag high-priority or high-budget moves for leadership approval

Stepper keeps everyone aligned and ensures no relocating employee is left waiting without updates.

Customize for Your Company's Relocation Policy

Every organization has different relocation benefits, expense caps, and support levels. This template is fully customizable:

• Add or remove expense categories to match your reimbursement policy
• Adjust housing budget ranges to reflect your local markets
• Include questions about spousal career support, cultural orientation, or language training
• Embed your relocation policy document or links to vendor partners
• Set conditional logic to show different fields for domestic versus international moves, or temporary versus permanent relocations

You can also white-label the form with your company branding, embed it in your internal HR portal, or send it as part of your offer acceptance process.

Built for Compliance, Security, and Scale

Relocation data includes sensitive personal information—addresses, family details, financial information. Paperform is SOC 2 Type II compliant with robust data protection, so you can confidently collect and manage this information. Submissions can integrate directly with your HRIS, Google Sheets, Airtable, or trigger workflows via Stepper, Zapier, or webhooks.

For organizations managing relocations across multiple offices, regions, or brands, Paperform's Agency+ plan supports multi-client management, roles and permissions, and centralized billing.
