Employee Home Advantage helps manufacturers, logistics operators, and healthcare systems reduce turnover by making homeownership achievable for their workforce — with zero lending risk and no administrative burden.
Employees leave not for better pay — but because housing costs force relocation or longer commutes.
Replacing a single hourly worker costs an average of 50–200% of their annual salary in rehiring and retraining.
Raises don't solve housing instability. They provide temporary relief without changing the underlying dynamic.
Most employers lack a practical, compliant way to offer homeownership as a benefit. Until now.
Your company activates EHA as a voluntary workforce benefit through a simple onboarding process.
Eligible employees voluntarily enroll and begin working toward homeownership milestones.
Program coordination, partner matching, compliance framework — handled entirely by EHA.
Within the 36-month program, eligible employees may access optional employer-funded down payment assistance of 3.5%–5%.
EHA is a complete 36-month retention program. No repayment required after 3 years of continued employment — fully earned through tenure.
EHA is designed to plug into your existing benefits package without creating new complexity, headcount, or liability.
All transactions occur off-platform through licensed third parties. EHA is not a lender or broker.
EHA manages the entire program. Your HR team introduces the benefit — we handle the rest.
Track program participation and correlate directly with turnover reduction over time.
Geography-agnostic. Works across multi-state workforces without additional licensing.
EHA charges the employer nothing for the program itself — no setup cost, no subscription fee, no per-employee admin charge. It's not free to run (employers fund the down payment contribution for participating employees), but the EHA platform, coaches, and partner network cost the employer nothing.
EHA gives employees a clear, supported path to homeownership through their job. That's a benefit with lasting emotional and financial weight that wage increases simply can't replicate.
Voluntary participation — no obligation. Employees opt in through a simple benefit enrollment process.
Continuous participation and employment builds eligibility for homeownership support on a tenure-based schedule.

Jeff Walston founded Employee Home Advantage after two decades working across mortgage lending, real estate, multi-state business ownership, and workforce management — including through the 2008 housing collapse. He saw firsthand how housing instability drives employee decisions in ways that pay increases alone can't fix. EHA is the solution he wished existed.
