Housing (Seniors)

AB 1090 establishes a statewide policy to prevent and end homelessness, requiring specific strategies for older adults. It creates a property tax credit for Wisconsin seniors aged 65 or older who own their primary home, allowing them to claim a credit equal to the increase in their annual property taxes compared to the previous year. The credit is funded through a state appropriation, with eligibility limited to full-time homeowners who file tax claims, excluding part-year residents and nonresidents. The bill also amends statutes to integrate this credit into the state’s tax code under section 71.07(8d).
