ALAMEDA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
BOARD AGENDA ITEM

Item Title:Employee Housing Update (15 Mins/Information)
Item Type:Action
Background:
 

Providing affordable housing for the district employees is a priority of the Board of Education.  With the high cost of housing in the City of Alameda and the Bay Area, school districts are struggling to hire and retain excellent employees.

 

A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to provide employee housing concepts was issued during the week of March 27, 2017.  Two (2) complete responses were received.  These responses have been preliminary evaluated by District staff and Economic and Planning Systems (EPS). The District retained EPS in 2016 to assist in analyzing the challenges and opportunities regarding real estate. 

 

Tonight, EPS will present a comparison of the two (2) proposals.  Staff is asking for Board authorization to enter into discussions with Education Housing Partners to further evaluate the proposal, prepare detailed financial analysis, and better understand risk management for the district. Staff anticipates these costs not to exceed $25,000.00.
