The Foothill-De Anza Community College District acquired McClellan Terrace Apartments to provide 332 affordable beds for students amidst housing insecurity. Current tenants will be displaced by June 2026, with the district allocating $3.2 million for relocation assistance. Renters can receive funds to cover rent and moving fees. Chancellor Lee Lambert emphasized the need for affordable housing to ease students' financial burdens, allowing them to focus on education rather than basic living costs. The district weighed various options before opting for this purchase to address immediate housing demands.
Chancellor Lee Lambert stressed the importance of reducing basic needs concerns for students, stating, "The more that we can remove the students' need to focus on their basic needs, the better because now they can focus on learning. Reducing those friction points is critical."
