Preferred Corporate Housing Named 2026 CHPA Company of the Year
Houston, TX — Preferred Corporate Housing (PCH) has been named Company of the Year by the Corporate Housing Providers Association (CHPA) at the prestigious Tower of Excellence Awards held during the CHPA Connect 26 Conference in Austin, Texas.
The Company of the Year award recognizes an organization that has demonstrated exceptional leadership, innovation, industry contribution, and commitment to advancing the corporate housing profession. Selected from among top providers across the country, Preferred Corporate Housing was honored for its measurable success, unwavering stability during a challenging market year, and meaningful contributions to the industry at local, national, and international levels.
“This recognition reflects the heart of our company,” said Michelle Velasquez, Vice President of Client Services. “In a year when many organizations scaled back, we chose to lean in by investing in our people, supporting our partners, and strengthening the industry we are proud to serve.”
Throughout 2025, PCH distinguished itself by prioritizing workforce stability and long-term resilience. While many providers reduced staff and limited service coverage amid economic strain, PCH expanded its team, increased salaries to offset rising living costs, introduced enhanced benefits, and launched structured professional development tracks across departments. This internal investment allowed the company to maintain full operational coverage across all markets and focus on innovation rather than recovery.
Beyond operational success, PCH’s industry leadership stood out. The company contributed more than 187 volunteer hours to mobility and multifamily organizations affiliated with Worldwide ERC, the National Apartment Association, and the Global Business Travel Association. PCH leadership served on advisory councils, supported advocacy initiatives, and delivered industry education to hundreds of mobility professionals nationwide.
The award also recognized PCH’s role in strengthening relationships during times of crisis. From assisting guests displaced by unexpected provider bankruptcies to supporting partners facing financial disruptions during peak season, PCH demonstrated resilience, integrity, and partnership-driven leadership.
Founded nearly three decades ago, Preferred Corporate Housing remains guided by a simple belief: when you invest in your people, you strengthen the entire industry. The Company of the Year recognition affirms that commitment and reinforces PCH’s position as a trusted leader in the corporate housing sector.
