'I am a native, I grew up here, this is my home and I am not able to live here. Affordable housing would be so helpful,' said a young teacher about the prospect of affordable units soon being made available to SFUSD staff.
San Francisco is trying desperately to catch up on affordable housing for teachers, with options coming in the Sunset and Mission districts.The affordability crunch is all too common for many teachers in the Bay Area.
"The school districts have seen when educators don't feel like they can afford to live in the communities that they teach, that it's difficult for them to be attracted to new jobs and to keep them in the jobs they already have," expressed Anne Stanley of the Mayor's Office of Housing and Community Development.
Take Dianne Feinstein Elementary in the Sunset District. When it was built in 2005, the plans included a 45-unit building for teachers and staff. The U.S Department of Housing and Urban Development was ready to provide some funds, but the community and then Supervisor Leland Yee opposed it and it never got built.
Now San Francisco is trying desperately to catch up. The old Francis Scott Key Annex in the outer Sunset District will now be the Shirley Chisholm Village with 135 units. Lottery applications for teachers and district staff will be available early next year. It was supposed to be completed by 2022 but the pandemic set them back and is now set to open in late 2024.
The new school year for the San Francisco Unified School district began Wednesday with a large shortage of teachers.
