Grant’s direct answer

HomeBase can help when the housing term is at least about three months. Assignments shorter than that—including many eight-week internships—generally fall outside the conventional apartment model HomeBase serves. For a three- to six-month assignment, Grant often starts with an affordable conventional unfurnished apartment and simple temporary furnishings rather than expensive traditional corporate housing. HomeBase does not provide roommate matching. Even for temporary employees, Grant still values a social neighborhood when the budget and commute allow because a positive city experience can make the assignment more enjoyable and memorable.
