As one part of their continuing effort to improve the district’s ability to recruit and retain highly qualified certificated and classified staff, the JUHSD School Board has decided to develop employee housing.  This will be apartments that are offered exclusively to JUHSD employees at a rental rate at approximately half the typical market rate. 

A survey of district staff was conducted in September 2017 to gauge interest in employee housing.  266 employees responded to the survey. 

• 67 (25%) very interested, 37 (14%) somewhat interested, 65 (24%) would consider
• Of the 169: 61% 1BR, 20% 2BR, 19% 3BR

The full results of the survey can be found here.

Additional Housing Options

Landed Educator Housing Program:

Landed has helped over 170 Northern California educators purchase a home with their shared equity down payment program and more than 350 educators buy homes across the country.

Landed’s down payment program provides employees in education with up to $120,000 towards the down payment on a home. This program is open to all employees—teachers, staff, and administrators—who have worked in public education for at least two years and can contribute at least a 10% down payment. You do not need to be a first-time homebuyer to participate.

This month, Landed is hosting two online information sessions for all employees interested in learning more about Landed’s down payment program and other home buying resources. Interested participants can RSVP here:

As you know, our district teamed up with Landed, a company working to help educators build financial security and achieve homeownership.

Landed will provide half your down payment, up to $120,000. In exchange, you will share in the gain (or loss, if any) of equity in your home when you sell or refinance. There are no monthly payments on the support.

This program is open to all Jefferson Union High School District staff who have worked for our district (or another California school district) for at least two years and can contribute a portion of the down payment themselves.
