NAIS Workforce Webinar Series: A Deep Dive Into Housing Support for Faculty & Staff

As housing affordability becomes a growing challenge for independent schools, some schools are taking innovative approaches to support their faculty and staff beyond traditional compensation. In this webinar from the 2026-2027 NAIS Workforce Webinar Series, dive deep with NAIS senior researchers and independent school heads to hear how housing support programs were developed by independent schools, how they designed these initiatives, the trade-offs they considered, and how the programs have evolved over time. Through real-world examples, examine how different models have been implemented in practice and the impact they have had on recruitment, retention, and overall faculty and staff well-being.

• Brenna Foley, senior research analyst, NAIS 
• Benjamin Jackson, head of school, North Yarmouth Academy (ME)
• David Faus, head of school, The Benjamin School (FL)
