Current law also authorizes any county to create a housing authority, under the
same law that may be used by a city, village, or town, and a city, village, town, or
county (political subdivision) may prepare, acquire, and operate housing projects
that are approved by the local governing body (common council or village, town or
county board). Such a housing authority may also borrow money, issue bonds, and
acquire real property by eminent domain. A housing authority may also borrow
money or accept grants from the federal government for any housing project that the
authority undertakes, and may act in other respects as does Milwaukee County in
attempting to secure the financial aid and cooperation of the federal government in
this area.
