California schools are developing plans to create affordable housing for teachers to combat significant staff shortages affecting districts across the state.

In one Silicon Valley-area district, a blueprint is being developed to attract and retain teachers by creating avenues that allow them to save money and buy a home in the area.

"My goal is let's help as many people as we can own a home," Mountain View Whisman School District (MVWSD) Superintendent Dr. Ayinde Rudolph told The Washington Examiner. "In my mind, this is the American dream."
