Confronting educational inequity by securing housing that is affordable for public school educators.
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 student performance and contributing to racial disparities.
Are you a PreK–12 public school employee looking for quality housing you can afford?
TRiO Plus Affordable Housing Marketplace
The TRiO Plus Affordable Housing Marketplace is the only place that provides educators with special discounts on quality rental housing. Savings on rent average over $2,000 per year.
Our collaborating housing providers offer discounted apartments to educators, bridging the affordability gap for educators, reducing vacancies, and leasing to great tenants.
Financial Wellness Services
Every educator in our partner districts has access to free one-on-one financial coaching.
Educators who find housing through the TRiO Plus marketplace also have access to services that reduce the costs educators face when finding a new apartment, including security deposits and moving costs.
Housing Stipends for Aspiring & New Teachers
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.
