In Denver, ten teachers from the Denver Public Schools have been selected to live rent-free for a year in a newly constructed apartment complex, a unique initiative by Grand Peaks in collaboration with the Denver Public Schools Foundation aimed at alleviating housing burdens for educators. Meanwhile, Daly City, California, has inaugurated Eastmoor Heights, a 56-unit affordable housing complex for teachers, designed to combat high turnover rates caused by the soaring cost of living, with rent capped at 50% below market rates. This initiative follows a $33 million bond measure approved in 2018, aimed at providing stability for teachers. The new complex fosters a community environment with amenities like a courtyard and play area, and its location allows teachers to walk to their schools, reducing lengthy commutes. Both cities are responding to the growing challenges educators face due to high housing costs, with Daly City's project being noted as a model for other districts across California. Educators like Priscilla Patalinghug in Daly City have expressed relief and gratitude for the opportunity to remain in the community they love, thanks to these innovative housing solutions.
