Beginning February 2021, there is additional rental assistance (WERA) for those who are facing eviction or are behind in their rent payments.
Here is a link to the state Department of Administration website with contact information for each county. (https://doa.wi.gov/Pages/WERA.aspx). Under the “Want to Apply?” section, click on the highlighted box that says “Your Local Community Action Agency,” which will take you to the WERA page.
