Landmark Housing Bill Clears Congress


Congress passed landmark housing affordability legislation Tuesday, advancing one of the most significant federal housing packages in nearly two decades.

The bill comes as Wisconsin faces a shortage of tens of thousands of units of housing. And unusually, the bill united Democratic and Republican members of Wisconsin’s congressional delegation in the final vote. It faces a hurdle as President Donald Trump withholds his signature — and housing experts caution that, even if it eventually becomes law, by itself it won’t solve the U.S. housing crisis.

Wisconsin DOJ Says Federal Court Blocks HUD Homelessness


Justice says a federal court has ruled against new conditions on federal homelessness funding. According to DOJ, Wisconsin joined a multistate coalition in November 2025 to challenge conditions placed on more than $3 billion in Continuum of Care grants through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The grants support community organizations that provide housing and other services for people experiencing homelessness or most at risk of homelessness.
