Milwaukee County is continuing its rental assistance programs that began early in the pandemic as it continues to see a high demand from residents facing eviction.
In a recent report to the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors, the county’s Housing Division reported that it had spent down all the money allocated for rental assistance from the federal stimulus package passed in late December.
The county has contracted with the local non-profit Community Advocates since June 2020 to process rental assistance applications and disburse payments. The organization has used all $6.7 million in rental assistance funds the county provided from its $10.6 million Emergency Rental Assistance Program allocation.
