Supervisor Simitian championed a 110-unit housing development for teachers and school employees at a Santa Clara County-owned site in Palo Alto, in partnership with school and community college districts in northern Santa Clara County and southern San Mateo County, as well as Meta (formerly known as Facebook), which provided a $25 million grant to the project. The Board unanimously supported the effort and named Mercy Housing as the County’s development partner in cooperation with Abode Communities. The project is anticipated to being construction in spring of 2023.
