These services include case management, legal and lease application assistance and connection to local services and supports to try to keep people in housing. To find your local agency to inquire about their Housing Stabilization Services.

The table below lists the 14 agencies that are  funds. For each agency there is a phone number and a preferred online contact listed. Please contact them this way if at all possible. 

Entitlement Areas

In the federal relief package that funds WERA, 6 areas of Wisconsin with populations over 200,000 are considered entitlement areas. This means they are receiving funding for rental assistance but are not a part of WERA. If you live in an entitlement area, you will need to contact the local organizations providing this service for information on their program.

Las Zonas de Derecho

En el paquete federal de ayudas que patrocina WERA, se consideran zonas de derecho a seis áreas de Wisconsin con poblaciónes de más de 200.000. Esto quiere decir que reciben fondos en ayuda de renta pero no son parte de WERA. Si Ud reside en una zona de derecho, tendrá que ponerse en contacto con las organizaciones locales que proporcionan información sobre este servicio en su programa.

Wisconsin Emergency Rental Assistance (WERA) is being coordinated by WISCAP and local CAAs, is administered by the Wisconsin Department of Administration, and is funded by the Federal Emergency Rental Assistance Program through the U.S. Department of Treasury.
