$5M to use for Oakland teacher housing

Oakland will announce it's receiving $5 million to provide affordable housing to teachers.

Oakland on Thursday is announcing that the state is giving the city $5 million to provide affordable housing to teachers. 


This money expands the efforts of a city program called, "Teachers Rooted in Oakland," which has been working to recruit and retain particularly teachers of color.

Funding will also go to support a website where Oakland's teachers can search and apply for apartments at special rates.
