What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill creates the Interagency Council on Homelessness. Under the bill, the

governor, or the governor's designee, chairs the council and the council consists of

secretaries (or their designees) of certain departments, the executive director of the

Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority, the state superintendent

of public instruction, and a representative from each of the four Continuum of Care

organizations that serve the homeless in Wisconsin. The bill provides that the

council's responsibilities include appointing a director to coordinate the activities of

the council and partner organizations; establishing and periodically reviewing a

statewide policy for ending and preventing homelessness; designating individuals

from state agencies to implement the policy of the council; and implementing the

policy in cooperation with state agencies.
