Yavapai College owns and manages a limited amount of unfurnished workforce housing in Yavapai County to provide convenient, safe, and attainable housing to Yavapai College employees.
At YC, attainable housing is priced to be affordable to Yavapai College employee households. The College strives to ensure housing costs, including rent and basic utilities, consume 30% or less of gross income for eligible moderate-income households.
Available housing is generally offered on a first-come, first-served basis, with program priorities and eligibility requirements applied.
To live in YC Workforce Housing, potential residents may not own property in Yavapai County. Because availability is limited, employees are not guaranteed housing.
Program priority is generally as follows:
Program notice: YC reserves the right to change the workforce housing program, including eligibility requirements, using its sole discretion as to what is in the best interests of the College.
Employees interested in workforce housing complete the housing application. If eligibility criteria are met, the employee is placed on the waiting list.
As units become available, Property Management contacts eligible employees according to the waiting list and stated housing preferences.
The Property Management Office confirms the selection and move-in date and provides the Housing License Agreement for review and signature.
Monthly rent payments are paid by payroll deduction. Security deposits and prorated first-month payments are paid through a secure online payment portal before move-in.
Keys are provided, and the resident conducts a move-in inspection to confirm that the unit is in good working order.
Residents may cancel the Housing License Agreement with as little as 60 days’ notice. Property Management coordinates move-out paperwork and a final inspection.
Pets are permitted at single-family homes and personal RVs with advance written permission from the College. Pet fees and deposits are required. Chickens and other animals typically associated with agricultural use are not allowed on premises.
Smoking is prohibited inside and within 25 feet of college buildings. At Prescott Pines, open flames are prohibited except in designated smoking areas.
Employees may seek to sublet during an approved leave or over the summer. The sublet must be for at least 30 days, and the employee remains responsible for damages beyond normal wear and tear.
Repairs and maintenance
College-owned units are maintained and repaired by the Facilities Department, either directly by college personnel or through a third-party service provider.
