Abigail Kessler The Arizona Daily Sun FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — Over the next year, a team from Northern Arizona University's Economic Policy Institute will be working with the Central Arizona Fire and Medical Authority (CAFMA) in Prescott to look at housing solutions that could help with firefighter recruitment and retention. The project recently received a Regents' Community Grant from the Arizona Board of Regents (ABOR). It was approved by the board on June 15. Although Prescott and Flagstaff have different housing needs, it is a factor in both struggling to retain firefighters.
