What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
This bill requires the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority to develop and administer a program that provides housing vouchers to individuals and families that are on a waiting list for a voucher under the federal Housing Choice Voucher Program. The bill requires that vouchers provided under the program must have the same terms and conditions that apply to federal housing choice vouchers.
A person who receives a federal housing choice voucher is prohibited from receiving a voucher under the program. The bill specifies that the vouchers must be distributed among the waiting lists maintained by WHEDA, public housing agencies that contract with WHEDA, and local housing authorities in proportion to the number of applicants on each waiting list maintained by those entities.
