A brief description of the incentives or programs:

UC Irvine offers significant incentives to encourage employees to live within walking distance of the campus's academic core. UCI developed and operates the largest and most successful faculty/staff housing program in the United States. The Irvine Campus Housing Authority (ICHA) is a non-profit housing entity whose mission is focused on developing affordable faculty/staff housing opportunities for UCI affiliates. Through the development of for-sale and rental housing opportunities through ICHA and a University-sponsored mortgage program, approximately two-thirds of UCI faculty live on-campus within walking distance to their work.
