I work for General Dynamics Electric Boat which has decades long contracts with the US government and the turnover rate is relatively high in the company so my thoughts are if I could choose a place that is within commute distance there and within the price range of the average employee that maybe that could be a great idea but I want to know if people think that is too much of an assumption and risk to make?

Yes, there are more steps to go through (often including sending in a W-9 tax form), but those steps are usually pretty straightforward.Additionally, most of the folks tasked with finding the housing for the company's VIPs are really appreciative of being treated well by a good property manager, so you can stand above the crowd by simply responding quickly and respectfully.
