Oakland is expanding a pilot program aimed at recruiting and retaining specialized teachers of color in the city’s schools via help with housing.

The program called Teachers Rooted in Oakland offers subsidized housing or stipends to educators, some of whom are graduate students earning their teaching credential. Oakland schools are trying to attract teachers who specialize in subjects such as math, science and special education that are hard to staff.

TRiO is supporting 30 teachers and teacher-residents. Seven of the 30 will be living in new housing at 2618 Martin Luther King Jr. Way in Oakland. Eighteen of the 30 are new teacher-residents.
