The Wisconsin Legislature’s Joint Finance Committee will meet Thursday (May 20th) to discuss expanding grant programs to help the homeless.
More than $12-million would be added to the Department of Administration’s Shelter for Homeless and Housing Grants program in the two-year state budget.
About $10-million would pay for housing and services for the homeless – distributed by local governments and organizations.
It’s estimated the additional money would be enough to help another 16,500 people in Wisconsin.
