Yavapai County would like developers to build more starter homes in the county — modest single-family homes that are within reach of young families and essential workers like teachers, firefighters, nurses and laborers to purchase.
Soon, it’ll even hand builders the plans to construct them, free of charge.
As a way to encourage the construction of affordable houses, the Yavapai County Board of Supervisors last year approved the Home of My Own program. The idea was to create a set of pre-approved plans for affordable homes of various sizes, which would be given out to builders and prospective homeowners free of charge.
