"Affordability Crisis Hits Home: KCPS Considers Vacant Historic School for Teacher Housing. In a bid to address the growing affordability crisis in Kansas City, the KC Public Schools (KCPS) district is exploring a unique solution: repurposing a vacant historic school building in the upscale Brookside neighborhood into teacher housing. The move comes as many educators are priced out of the city's desirable neighborhoods, struggling to find affordable housing options within commuting distance of their schools. The historic school building, once a hub of education in the community, now stands vacant, offering a potential lifeline for KCPS teachers who face increasingly difficult choices between housing costs and career stability."
