Silicon Valley college district to add student housing - San Jose Spotlight
Briefly

The Foothill-De Anza Community College District has embarked on a pioneering initiative to combat housing insecurity by purchasing McClellan Terrace Apartments for student housing. With funding from Measure G, the district aims to create 332 beds for De Anza and Foothill college students in a renovated 94-home building. All current tenants will receive relocation assistance as renovations occur, with students moving in as early as August. Board President Peter Landsberger emphasizes the necessity of addressing students' basic needs to ensure their academic success.
"It's increasingly obvious that to ensure that our students have the basic wherewithal to successfully complete their educational goals at the colleges, we need to start addressing those concerns directly."
"Students are expected to start moving into vacant apartments in August and September, and although rent is still undetermined, the focus remains on affordable options for students."
