Based on interest from local cities and schools, Supervisor Simitian and colleague Supervisor Otto Lee asked County Administration to pursue options for developing teacher housing in the West Valley. The proposal followed the Board’s approval of a pilot educator workforce housing project in Palo Alto serving school districts in northern Santa Clara County and southern San Mateo County. Simitian said news of that approval led school district and city officials in the West Valley to reach out to see if a similar project might be possible in their region.
