Preferred Corporate Housing Named Corporate Housing Provider Of The Year At The 2026 Americas Emmas
Preferred Corporate Housing (PCH), a leading provider of customized temporary housing solutions across North America, is proud to announce it has been named Corporate Housing Provider of the Year at the 2026 Americas Expatriate Management & Mobility Awards (EMMAs), presented by the Forum for Expatriate Management.
This recognition comes just months after PCH was also named Company of the Year by the Corporate Housing Providers Association (CHPA) in February 2026, marking back-to-back industry recognition from two of the most respected organizations in corporate housing and global mobility.
For PCH, the awards reflect more than a successful year. They recognize the people, partnerships, service standards, and problem-solving mindset that have shaped the company for nearly three decades.
“This award is incredibly meaningful because it reflects what has always mattered most to us - our people, our partners, and the guests who trust us during times of transition,” shared Samantha Elliott, CEO of Preferred Corporate Housing.“We are honored to be recognized by the global mobility community for the work we genuinely love to do.”
The award reflects a year in which PCH continued to stand apart through:
People-First Leadership: While many companies reduced staff and service coverage, PCH invested in its team through salary increases, expanded benefits, and professional development programs, enabling the company to maintain consistent service and support.
Operational Excellence: PCH enhanced its internal quality loop and technology integrations, helping improve guest satisfaction scores to 4.92 out of 5.
Sustainability Innovation: The company expanded its industry-first Stay Sustainability Report Card and actively supported standardized carbon reporting initiatives within the corporate housing sector.
Crisis Response Capability: PCH continued to provide rapid deployment housing during emergencies and complex relocations, including protecting partner relationships by carrying significant financial exposure to ensure guests remained housed.
“This recognition belongs to every member of our team and to the clients, relocation management companies, and supplier partners who trust us to support their most important people,” shared Michelle Velasquez, GMS, CCHP, Vice President of Client Services.“We are deeply grateful for those partnerships and remain committed to raising the bar for what corporate housing can deliver.”
The 2026 Americas EMMAs were presented during the Forum for Expatriate Management's annual awards ceremony, which celebrates excellence across global mobility and expatriate management.
