In San Francisco, groundbreaking ceremonies have initiated construction for two significant affordable housing projects aimed specifically at educators, which are expected to add 167 new units. The move comes in response to long-standing concerns about housing affordability that has forced many teachers to commute from outside the city. A recent survey revealed that over 80% of educators feel their salaries are inadequate against rising living costs. The projects, along with others in the pipeline, illustrate ongoing efforts by local officials to address the critical housing shortage affecting public school educators.
Teachers in San Francisco looking for affordable housing could have more options by the end of next year, thanks to two new affordable housing projects.
According to a survey released in January by the California Teachers Association, more than 80% of the nearly 2,000 public school educators statewide said their salaries could not keep up with the rising cost of living.
Though the Shirley Chisholm Village took years to complete, officials are seeing success in what was built, with apartments 100% occupied.
One more project is in the city's teacher housing pipeline, but awaits funding: 2205 Mission Street, which has received about $12 million in funding but needs more.
