A San Jose parish is taking a small bite out of the region's ongoing housing crisis, by converting its former convent into affordable housing for teachers.

At St. John Vianney Catholic Church in the city's East Foothills, the convent was built in the 1950s to house nuns who would teach in the school across the street. The nuns aren't here anymore, but the parish wanted to make sure that the building still housed people willing to serve others.

The rooms come with a bed, bath and shower. There's also a modern communal kitchen, a large living room and a soon to be completed patio and garden."The ideal candidate is anyone who just graduated from college or is just starting out and can no way afford this area," Kim said. It could be something as simple as volunteering for food giveaways for needy families that take place in the church's parking lot.
