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.
