What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
