Santa Clara Unified School District constructed 40 residential units for District teachers in 2001 and 30 additional units in 2006.  The 70 units are rented at below market rate (80%) to allow teachers to save money and after 7 years purchase a house.  The Casa Del Maestro Apartment Complex is located on a school site that is mostly leased to other K-12 entities.  The units are 1 and 2 bedrooms and all have a one car garage.

Teachers in their first three years at the District are able to sign up for the waiting list through the Human Resouces Department.  As units are available, the Property Manager contacts each individual on the waiting list.
