Home sale programs have supported employee relocation in the U.S. for more than 50 years, but new federal legislation could unintentionally put them at risk.
In this episode of The One Take, WERC President and CEO Anupam Singhal is joined by industry leaders Nate Dodge (NEI Global Relocation), Bob Olmsted (Sirva), and John Morreale (Morreale Real Estate Services) to break down what’s at stake.
The group discusses how relocation-related home sale programs work, why they remain a critical tool for employers and employees, and how provisions in the “21st Century ROAD to Housing Act” (H.R. 6644) could disrupt these programs if not clarified. With more than 20,000 home sale transactions supporting workforce mobility each year, the potential impact extends beyond companies to local communities and the broader labor market.
This conversation also highlights why engagement with policymakers matters and what mobility professionals can do now to help ensure these programs remain viable.
