Does the institution have incentives or programs to encourage employees to live close to campus?:
A brief description of the incentives or programs:
The university maintains several houses and a five-unit apartment complex (see photos below) for lease by faculty and staff. Rent levels are established to recover Colgate’s costs of maintaining properties. Colgate does not make a profit on its rental properties by adding a profit margin to rents, nor does it attempt to recover the opportunity costs of maintaining rental properties rather than investing the property value elsewhere. In fact, at present Colgate is minimally subsidizing most renters by not fully recovering its costs.
