Does the institution have incentives or programs to encourage employees to live close to campus?:
A brief description of the incentives or programs:
The Faculty-in-Residence Program offer the opportunity for four regular, full-time faculty members to live at Clairmont Campus and engage with Emory students through ongoing programs and interactions. Faculty In Residence (FIRs), are selected through an application process and offer a program series based on topics that enrich the residential experience. Field trips, speakers, and open discussions provide opportunities for FIRs to live and learn with students.
Emory University also sponsors an off-campus housing website to assist students, faculty, and staff with finding housing near Emory. Listings include mileage distance from campus and generally do not exceed 4.0 miles.
Emory has also recently broken ground on a mixed-use retail and residential site on campus to provide additional local housing. The 15 acre site will set aside 20 % of the rental units for lower-earning employees, and none of the residents can have parking passes.
