As housing prices increase in cities across the country, many teachers are finding it harder to afford to live in the districts in which they teach. Teacher salaries aren't keeping up with the rising cost of living. These challenges are contributing to widespread teacher turnover, which is known to have negative effects on students. Teachers are getting second jobs, moving in with many roommates, moving out of the districts where they teach to areas with lower housing costs, or leaving the profession altogether. Some cities have begun to address these issues by providing affordable housing options for teachers. Already, some of these efforts have been shown to increase teacher retention rates. Across the country, cities with high costs of living, as well as rural areas with low housing inventory, have taken steps to address the high cost of housing for educators. Several studies point to the effectiveness that these efforts have had on both teacher recruitment and retention. This document is a brief look at the projects that are emerging to provide affordable teacher housing.
