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.
UPDATE: We are breaking ground on March 18th at 2pm at 313 Swift! We are so excited to be finally ready to build this dream 10 years in the making!
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
