Educator Housing Clinics

Monthly clinics connect SFUSD employees to affordable rental and home ownership programs, and other related services.

Down Payment Assistance Programs

The Educators Downpayment Assistance Loan Program (EDALP) offers up to $375,000 in down payment assistance toward the purchase of your first market rate home in San Francisco. Pre-approved buyers are selected via a lottery.

The Teacher Next Door Program (TND) provides a forgivable loan of up to $40,000 to cover down payment or closing costs.

The Mayor's office releases funding for both programs on the same date (unknown at this time). Applicants only have 45 days to apply. Get pre-approved now so you are ready to apply.

See EDALP and TND fliers to learn more about these programs for our educators.

Francis Scott Key Annex Educator Housing

The future San Francisco development on SFUSD-owned land will serve as a contemporary model for how cities and school districts can work collaboratively to address housing affordability, attract and retain qualified teachers, and maintain a workforce to adequately prepare our youth for the future.
