Confronting educational inequity by securing housing that is more affordable for Oakland teachers.
The high cost of housing is pushing all teachers - but especially Black, Latine, and other teachers of color - out of Oakland, worsening the student-teacher Representation Gap that is undermining OUSD student performance and contributing to major racial disparities.
Are you an OUSD Employee looking for affordable housing?
TRiO Plus Affordable Housing Marketplace
We believe a marketplace for discounted housing can institutionalize affordable housing not only for educators, but also other underpaid public employees. And not just in Oakland, but statewide.
Teachers Rooted in Oakland (TRiO) Program
TRiO aims to improve recruitment and retention of teachers of color in hard-to-staff subject areas in Oakland’s Teacher Residency Program and other early career teachers by making housing more affordable for these pillars of our community.
“Bank of America’s grant will help TRiO create vibrant opportunities for STEM and special needs teachers.” - Gioia McCarthy, Bank of America President for San Francisco, East Bay
