company housing
Workplace-provided residence
Company housing is residential accommodation provided by an employer for workers, typically near the workplace.
Common in industries like mining, logging, and manufacturing where operations are remote, company housing historically formed entire company towns where workers rented from their employer.
The arrangement can foster community but also dependency, as losing a job means losing a home.
