A New Model For The Nation For Educator Affordable Housing

Brookwood was pleased to serve as Strategic Development Advisor to the Jefferson Union High School District for this 122-unit residential project that provides below-market-rate housing for teachers and staff of the school district.

Brookwood has provided development management services to the Jefferson Union High School District, developing and preparing a Request for Qualifications and a Request for Proposal for Design-Build services (utilizing the Bridging method) for 122 apartments for faculty & staff. The apartments will be available for occupancy in 2022.

The Jefferson Union High School District, as with many school districts and community college districts in the San Francisco Bay Area, faces tremendous challenges in recruiting and retaining faculty and staff due to the high cost of housing in the region. As a result, the District has become a developer by necessity (rather than by choice) to provide high quality workforce rental housing that serves its faculty and staff by offering below-market rents.
