How can community college districts accelerate housing delivery without starting from the ground up? This session explores how Foothill–De Anza Community College District leveraged $200 million in Measure G bond funding to acquire an existing market-rate multifamily property and advance affordable student and employee housing in partnership with the Mountain View Whisman School District.
Panelists will discuss feasibility analysis, site selection, bond structuring, financial and legal due diligence, interagency coordination, and operational planning. Attendees will gain practical insights into how strategic acquisitions can shorten timelines, reduce development risk, enhance long-term affordability, and strengthen student success and workforce recruitment.
