ABC15 got a look at the new homes in northern Arizona this week and talked with one teacher who planned to move in.
PRESCOTT, AZ — Some Northern Arizona school districts are making sure teachers have better access to housing by providing it themselves.Prescott Unified School District started construction earlier this year on new homes for educators. They will be available to rent out for at least a year.Watch our previous coverage of the community in the player below:
“Our starting teachers start around $51,000, with everything together. So, it’s just not enough. And they’re not able to stay here,” Prescott Unified Assistant Superintendent Clark Tenney said. While the Prescott Unified School District is still working on their homes, their neighboring district, the Chino Valley Unified School District is just about done with their homes. Teachers are scheduled to start moving in as early as October 1.
Ruhlman’s family lives in Prescott Valley, so he was able to move in with them while waiting for the district’s homes to be ready. “The cost for their mortgage is more than their take-home pay on a biweekly basis. Housing is not attainable for our staff like it was when I started here in the district 27 years ago,” he said.
The homes were built fairly quickly, with the contractors starting construction less than six months ago.
