In the Feb 16, 2020 SD-Union Tribune article regarding Chula Vista school district building affordable house for teachers, SD Unified Trustee Richard Barrera is quoted to say, SD Unified plans to build upwards to 1000 affordable units for teachers.
Is the Monarch Apartment Project in SR about providing affordable housing to struggling residents of San Diego; or is it about providing affordable housing to ‘qualified district employees?’
Richard Barrera says:
“San Diego Unified, for instance, is planning to build teacher housing in the next few years on district-owned land that will soon become vacant.”
“We are definitely putting a plan together to build educator housing on those properties.”
“We’re hopeful that over the next few years we can build upwards of 1,000 units of affordable housing for educators.”
Voters approved BILLIONS OF DOLLARS in bond money (Prop MM, Prop S, Prop Z, Prop YY) for SD Unified school repairs, security, technology, new schools and get apartments projects on school land to provide housing for school district employees.
