LA CROSSE, Wis. (WKBT) – The nationwide eviction moratorium ends Saturday. People who don’t or can’t pay their rent face eviction. Extensions to the rule saved millions around the country from problems during the pandemic.
The pain of the calendar year since March of last year is felt in the wallets of renters. A federal moratorium bought time for tenants around the country.
“I think we’ve been fortunate to have the eviction moratorium in place,” said Kim Cable, housing and community services director for Couleecap.

LA CROSSE, Wis. (WKBT) The La Crosse County Board passed a resolution nearly unanimously Tuesday declaring “Racism as a Public Health Crisis,” including several actions to enable the resolution.
Cornforth described the resolution as “an important step in the movement to racial equality.”
During discussion of the resolution’s merits, board member Kim Cable said, “I find it ironic that we are a board of white people discussing this systemic racism. We certainly should, and we should listen to those people of color.”
