State Legislature Bills

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.
