Housing to WHEDA not WEDC

Reviewing the proposed budget, it appears that, as I thought, the housing programs under the Department of Commerce will be transferred to the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority (WHEDA).  For a while, people were saying the housing programs would be going into the new Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC).

WHEDA is a far more logical place for the housing programs than WEDC.

Update:  Apparently the Secretary of the Department of Commerce  is still working on transferring programs and services to WEDC as previously planned, so perhaps this is not set in stone yet.
