Educator housing is heating up—here’s what you need to know. Recenlty, Kitchell’s Tony Mirenda led a powerful, packed CMAA session on Educator Workforce Housing—so engaging it went 30 minutes over and nearly everyone stayed. Why? Because this topic is critical for California school districts right now.

Here’s what you need to know:

✅ The need is growing – Demand is spiking across the state and beyond
✅ Policy momentum is building – AB 1021 strengthens the path paved by AB 2295
✅ The work doesn’t end at occupancy – Leasing, maintenance, and tenant issues persist
✅ Voice of staff is vital – Regular surveys help districts stay aligned with workforce needs
✅ Finance is everything – Local bonds and creative capital stacks are key
✅ Champions lead the way – Every successful project has a passionate internal advocate

How Kitchell helps? Districts need a quarterback. Kitchell brings a fully integrated team—program & construction management, architecture, engineering, and project controls—to guide projects from vision to move-in.
