Teacher Housing Project is a Go!
Earlier this month, the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved the 110-unit teacher housing project to be located at 231 Grant Ave. in Palo Alto. The project on County-owned land was proposed by Supervisor Simitian in 2018 to help local teachers and school staff live in the communities they serve, and to help local school districts attract and retain top-quality staff.
The approved project will provide 110 affordable rental apartments for teachers and other school employees from a half-dozen school districts in Santa Clara County and southern San Mateo County.
“As a former school board member, and the son of a local school teacher, I know this housing project has the ability to greatly affect the lives of teachers and their families and benefit our schools and our students,” said Simitian.
