It stands to reason that if you're going to teach here, you'll probably want to live nearby. But since rents and property prices are still on the rise, we've created a number of initiatives to help you find affordable accommodation and get settled in.

As recognised Key Workers, teachers employed in Hackney's schools are eligible to apply to Housing Associations. You'll find plenty of options available, from self-contained rental or sharing facilities to shared ownership and homebuy schemes, again in partnership with a Housing Association.

Although we'll do all we can to help, it's worth remembering that we can't actually guarantee that you'll gain accommodation from a Housing Association.
