Press release from UC Berkeley News:

February 15, 2022

New research from UC Berkeley has the potential to influence state policy aimed at providing affordable housing to public school teachers and staff.

The report, “Education Workforce Housing in California: Developing the 21st Century Campus,” was published today by UC Berkeley’s Center for Cities + Schools, the Terner Center for Housing Innovation at Berkeley, and cityLAB at UCLA.

The research, developed in collaboration with the California School Boards Association and funded by the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, looked at tens of thousands of potential California housing sites and found that counties across the state own public land that can be designed and
developed to house public school teachers and staff.
