MBJ’s Sean Ryan talks with Joaquin Altoro, CEO of the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority, about this year’s round of affordable housing tax credit awards, and the response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Beyond financing development of new apartments for low-income renters, WHEDA is a lender to a lot of first-time homebuyers, so he had a lot of perspective to share.   Later, MBJ reporter Sari Lesk joins Sean to discuss the federal Paycheck Protection Program.  Sari gives a solid overview of what’s happening locally with small, and sometimes larger, businesses seeking loans to get through this pandemic.
