Workforce Housing 

With the Santa Cruz area recently named the most expensive place to live in the nation, and school budgets fixed at the state level, our community has a problem: how do we keep the amazing teachers and staff we attract?

 

We are so grateful that our community offered so much support for Bond Measures K&L, passed in 2022, which are funding a solution for our educators: a 100-unit, housing development with below-market rent.

Where:

313 Swift Street on the West Side of Santa Cruz, bordered by Gateway School, Sgt. Derby Park and Cafe Iveta.

 

When:

We plan to break ground in early 2025 and open in 2028. We have hired development partners, we have approved the schematic design,

 

Who:

It will be open to teachers and support staff as well, with a lottery system likely in the event that there are more applicants than openings
