AB1075,,22An Act to amend 234.66 (4) (f) of the statutes; relating to: regional allocation of residential housing infrastructure revolving loan. AB1075,,33Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau Current law authorizes the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority to award revolving loans to residential housing developers for eligible housing infrastructure projects supporting workforce and senior housing. Among other loan requirements, current law requires WHEDA to divide the state into regions based on the service jurisdiction of each regional planning commission constituted under current law, with the counties not served by a regional planning commission constituting collectively one region. Current law provides that no such region may receive more than 25 percent of such loan amounts in any given application cycle.
This bill changes that 25 percent loan award allocation requirement to provide that no such region may receive more than 12.5 percent of the moneys appropriated for such loans in the 2023-25 fiscal biennium.
