Teach Here. Live Here. The City of San José in conjunction with the San José Education Foundation created the Teach Here, Live Here (THLH) program to provide rental assistance to teachers in the City of San José. 

The THLH program is designed to assist San José’s 19 school districts in addition to the County Office of Education, recruit new teachers especially those in the disciplines of math, science, and special education. THLH provides grants to first time teachers to help them begin their careers in San José. The program will also provide grants to established teachers who are moving to San José to continue their careers here.
