2023 Wisconsin Act 209
[2023 Assembly Bill 1075]
Regional Allocation of
Residential Housing
Infrastructure Revolving Loan
Fund Program
BACKGROUND
2023 Wisconsin Act 14
1
creates a residential housing infrastructure revolving loan fund program under
the jurisdiction of the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority (WHEDA). The funds
are awarded by WHEDA to housing developers for eligible housing infrastructure projects supporting
workforce and senior housing. Under 2023 Wisconsin Act 14, WHEDA is directed to divide the state
into regions based on service jurisdiction of the regional planning commissions. No region is permitted
to receive more than 25 percent in loans awarded under the act in any given application cycle.
2023 WISCONSIN ACT 209
2023 Wisconsin Act 209 modifies the restrictions on the housing infrastructure revolving loan fund
program in two ways. First, it reduces the amount any region can receive from 25 to 12.5 percent.
Second, it specifies that each region cannot be awarded more than 12.5 percent in the 2023-25 fiscal
biennium, instead of any given application cycle.
Effective date: March 24, 2024
