THE SMALL ACT

The CHANCE Act — Creating Hire Avenues for New Careers and Employment

Hire Local, Hire Heroes

Wisconsin's businesses are the backbone of our communities — and some of our most deserving neighbors are being left behind. Reive believes we can solve both problems at once by rewarding employers who take a chance on the people who need it most.

• Veterans Hiring Tax Credit — Businesses that hire a veteran receive a meaningful state tax credit. Veterans bring discipline, leadership, and real-world experience to any workplace.

• Homeless Hiring Tax Credit — Businesses that hire someone experiencing homelessness receive an even larger tax credit. A job is the single most effective path out of homelessness — more reliable than a shelter bed and more dignified than a government check.

Credits are earned over time — rewarding genuine retention, not just hiring:

• 2 Weeks

  • Initial portion — they showed up

• 90 Days

  • Second portion — they're building something

• 6 Months

  • Third portion — it's becoming a career

• 12 Months

  • Fourth portion — real stability achieved

• 3 Years

  • Bonus credit — long-term investment rewarded

The 3-year bonus exists to prevent employers from recycling hires just to restart the credit clock. The goal isn't a revolving door — it's a career.
