MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers has signed five bipartisan measures to bolster affordable housing across the state. Republicans who control the Legislature’s budget-writing committee set aside more than half a billion dollars to fund new loan programs for developers and landlords created by the bills.

Evers called the bills critical to addressing economic challenges and making Wisconsin more friendly to workers.
