The Berkeley school district is set to break ground in March on 110 units of affordable housing for staff, emphasizing the need for workforce housing in the area.
Juliana Jones, a Longfellow math teacher, highlights the housing crisis for young teachers, stating, "It's ridiculous they can't pay rent," underlining the urgency for affordable options.
Funded with $24.5 million from Measure O, this project aims to provide essential housing support for educators, with additional funding possibly from state and federal sources.
The underscored purpose of the project, as indicated by district officials, is to create dedicated affordable living spaces primarily for non-management district staff.
