""Workplace housing is a pressing issue for us,""
""We cannot pay our staff sufficient wages to live in comfort and dignity in this area.""
""When you look at the median income needed to afford housing in San Jose, that expense is beyond what even our highest-paid employees can afford,""
""We wanted this project to be akin to market-rate housing in terms of the quality of what we want to build,""
San Jose Unified School District proposed a 288-unit apartment project at 760 Hillsdale Ave to provide workforce housing affordable to district employees. The site is undeveloped alongside Hillsdale Avenue next to State Route 87 and adjacent to the district's seven-building Silicon Valley Education Campus. District officials said workplace housing is a pressing issue because staff wages do not cover local housing costs. The proposal targets the "missing middle" of workers who earn too much for many affordable programs but cannot afford market-rate housing. San José State University has separate plans for large new downtown housing towers.
