Home Source FAQs
What does Home Source Corporation do?
We relocate policyholders who are displaced from their home and assist insurance companies in finding temporary homes that are fully furnished to relocate the families for an approved length of time.
Why should I use Home Source?
Speed – We already have pre-negotiated rates with hotels, properties and furniture vendors so you can relocate your policyholders today.
Save Money – Due to the large volume of business with many different insurance carriers, and our extensive list of purveyors, we can do it for less than you doing it yourself.
Save Time – When a policyholder loses their home, they need someone to hold their hand every step of the way when it comes to temporary housing. We free up your time so you can concentrate on the rest of the claim.
Service – When you want to keep your policyholder, turn to Home Source to provide service that is remembered long after the claim has been forgotten.
What is ALE?
It is the “Additional Living Expenses” portion of your Homeowners Insurance Policy. In the case of a disaster at home, this means that you will not be out of pocket for any expense (i.e. hotel, temporary housing, furniture) that would not have been an expense had the disaster not happened.
How do I reach Home Source?
We have housing relocation experts available 24/7/365 because disaster doesn’t own a watch. Call us anytime at (708) 867-8033
What does this cost me?
Our service cost you nothing out-of-pocket. Our services are covered by your “additional living expense” portion of your policy. We are here to add value to your insurance company, to walk you through your relocation, and to protect you every step of the way.
