Thank you. The rising cost of living has made Home Ownership out of reach for many educators. But theres a new bill that was introduced by congressman Eric Swalwell that aims to change that it would start a new Grant Program for teachers to buy their first house. So joining us now is United States representative Eric Swalwell. Congressman, thank you for joining us here on kron. 4 news just in how you doing. Im great. How are you . Thank you so much for being more so we can talk about this. Youre trying to make housing more affordable for teachers. Sounds like a great idea. Overall. This is so they can have a down payment for their first house. Im wondering how big of a problem this is especially in the bay area and what attracted you to want to use try to kick off this legislation. Our to our teachers are spending too much too much time in their commutes and not enough time. I thinking about, you know, their own families and our kids and their classroom. And so we want them to be able to live where they teach. So this creates a Grant Program where teachers can receive up to 25,000. If they are able to commit to teaching 6 years so 3 years into teaching, they are eligible to use in our communities and then they have to teach at least another 3 years. So its just addressing affordability and the crisis that, you know, were all going through in the bear. So this would do for a firsttime home buyer. How would they get the money from the School District . How would the money actually get to the actual teacher . Yes, so we we think that, you know, the communities know their needs. The best of this program would allow a state and local governments, you know, to compete if they can stand up a program and that can help teacher. So School Districts primarily, you know, theyre the ones who know the needs on the front but of course, other, you know, state and local agencies could also compete in. And when you have a decent schools attract a higher and employers who pay higher wages. And that pace for more Services Like Public Safety in your community. So its all connected, you know, to the center of our community, which is our schools. And they have to. By this home in the community that they teach there be some sort of radius that would show exactly how close they woul
