Herndon, VA, June 16, 2011 --(PR.com)-- National Corporate Housing, a national provider of furnished apartments for temporary housing, announced the company has purchased Equity Corporate Housing, a leading provider of corporate housing and unfurnished rental assistance services nationwide. Equity Corporate Housing has served the relocation and temporary housing industries both domestically and internationally for over 10 years.
