Frequently asked questions
As senior executives within the healthcare industry, we experienced the challenges of hiring and retaining employees critical to the operations of our hospitals and health systems. These employees cannot work from home and many of them work shifts on days, nights and weekends. Many of these health systems are in established communities where housing costs have risen exponentially faster than salaries. While these essential workers have good jobs and competitive wages, they are required to seek housing outside the communities where they work, making transportation and time with family a challenge. It is not only healthcare workers who are experiencing these challenges. First responders, teachers, trades people, hospitality and retail workers often struggle to find attainable housing. This is why we believe those providing critical services need the opportunity to live in the community where they work.
