A dream that can seem elusive or impossible in the bay areas redhot housing market. It supports our effort to attract and retain teachers because housing is the big dilemma in the area. So affording them the opportunity to become homeowners is very, very positive. Reporter heres how the program works. Teachers would be eligible for up to 120,000 towards a down payment on their first home. That money plus 25 of any increase in the homes value would either be paid back when the owner sells or refinances. Teachers in redwood city, ravenswood city and Sequoia High School districts are eligible for the program. The Chanzuckerberg Initiative says its an development in educators who already contribute so much to the community. Home ownership should be two big things for people. One, the security of a roof over your head and knowing that you arent going to necessarily be kicked out of your home if you are renting is really big. Security where you live. And the other security that Home Ownership provides is a financial one. Reporter on the peninsula, devin fehely, kpix 5. Time is 4 51. And a bay area San Pablo Dam<\/a> road.
