State Legislature Bills

Creates competitive state grants for local governments to pair permanent supportive housing with coordinated mental-health, addiction, employment, and case-management services, subject to performance plans and annual outcome and spending reports.

The bill creates dedicated Wisconsin funding for childcare, housing, and food assistance for eligible working families, prioritizing people who are working, training, studying, or seeking employment. It also offers voluntary job-support services and requires annual reports on outcomes and costs.

This bill creates a Wisconsin program offering grants and low-interest loans to build and rehab multifamily housing near jobs, transit, and downtown areas. It also funds repairs for older rentals in exchange for affordability commitments and requires annual public reporting on results and spending.

This bill creates a Wisconsin program to fund mixed-income housing, preserve older rental units, and back anti-displacement efforts in expensive urban areas. It prioritizes projects near jobs or transit that use matching funds and include measurable protections against involuntary displacement.

Wisconsin would create a workforce program through the Department of Workforce Development to expand registered apprenticeships and give performance-based hiring incentives to manufacturers and skilled-trades employers that partner with schools, technical colleges, and union or joint labor-management training programs. The bill targets recent graduates, displaced workers, and high-unemployment areas while requiring industry-recognized training, fair wages, and reporting on retention outcomes.

Wisconsin would create a state initiative to grow manufacturing and skilled-trades jobs by expanding apprenticeships and offering tax credits and redevelopment grants for factories in vacant industrial areas. Companies receiving incentives would have to meet local hiring, apprenticeship, and wage reporting standards, with extra priority for projects that clean up long-unused sites and build in-state supply chains.
