Teacher housing program launches in San Diego
SAN DIEGO (FOX 5/KUSI) — The City of San Diego is on track in helping teachers to be able to afford a home in a part of America's Finest City.
It's all part of a new program called HOPE and that's exactly what the city, a private developer, and partners are trying to give to San Diego teachers — hope that they can continue to afford to live in the communities they serve.
The HOPE program provides financial and homebuyer assistance to certified teachers. This is a $1 million grant that is privately funded by Lennar Home Construction.
The City of San Diego has been working with the company and together they've came up with a development agreement to make this possible.
Councilmember Marni von Wilpert and partners announced the details of this grant at a news conference Wednesday morning.
Teachers within San Diego Unified as well as Poway Unified will qualify.
