1An Act to create 46.28 (1) (e) 9. of the statutes;
relating to: expanding the
2definition of sponsor for developing residential facilities that are eligible for

Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, the department of health and family services (DHFS) is
authorized to approve for financing (including loans or the issuance of bonds) by the
Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority any residential facility,
developed by a sponsor, if the residential facility will help meet the housing needs
of elderly or disabled persons, children with long-term care needs, homeless persons
or victims of domestic abuse. Sponsors are defined to mean DHFS, county
departments, county commissions on aging, municipal housing authorities,
nonprofit health institutions, tribal councils, housing corporations, limited-profit or
nonprofit entities and other entities that meet criteria of WHEDA.
This bill expands the definition of sponsor for the purpose of developing
residential facilities that are eligible for financing by WHEDA to include a for-profit
entity that is engaged in providing medical care or residential care or services. The
definition includes a hospital, a nursing home, a community-based residential
facility and a residential care apartment complex.
For further information see the state and local fiscal estimate, which will be
printed as an appendix to this bill.
