TRiO+ advances educational equity by improving housing affordability for Oakland teachers.
Our collaborating landlords offer exclusive, discounted apartments to pre-screened Oakland teachers, and privately funded guaranteed housing stipends bridge the affordability gap. Data suggest that students perform better when their teachers look like them and share life experiences, so by improving recruitment and retention of teachers of color, TRiO+ can improve student outcomes for Oakland’s diverse student population.

What is TRiO?
What is TRiO?
TRiO+ is the growth strategy for Teachers Rooted in Oakland, or TRiO.
Developed in 2020 by the Oakland Mayor’s Office in collaboration with private philanthropy and property owners, TRiO aims to improve recruitment and retention of teachers of color in Oakland by making housing more affordable for these pillars of our community.
TRiO matches teachers with collaborating landlords to secure discounted apartments, further supported by philanthropically funded housing stipends. The ongoing TRiO pilot is expected to support over 100 Oakland teachers in hard-to-staff subjects like STEM and Special Education over nine years.
Oakland Teacher Residents have access to below-market-rate housing through TRiO.
