‘What are we going to do?’: Cupertino renters might lose their homes to student housing

ROSEMARY BISWAS has lived with her two children at McClellan Terrace Apartments in Cupertino since 2023. The aging building comes with lower rent, a godsend in a region considered one of the most expensive in the nation.

The single mom and 93 other families will likely be forced to move by June 2026, so Foothill-De Anza Community College District can convert the apartments into 332 affordable student beds at 7918 McClellan Road — even though Biswas is a De Anza College student transferring in the fall.
