As a company committed to helping families maintain stable housing, we understand the devastating effects of evictions on households, families, and communities. We at EvictionFreeMKE are dedicated to providing support to Milwaukee County individuals and families who are at or below 200% of the federal poverty guidelines, helping them navigate the eviction process and prevent homelessness.
One of the most pressing needs for families facing eviction is emergency housing. The fear of losing one’s home can be overwhelming, and the need for immediate housing can be urgent. That’s why our organization has partnered with local emergency housing providers to ensure that families have access to safe and secure temporary housing while they work to resolve their eviction cases.
Emergency housing for evicted families can take many forms, including shelters, transitional housing, and rental assistance programs. Our team works with each family to assess their individual needs and connect them with the appropriate resources. We understand that every family’s situation is unique, and we are committed to finding the right solution for each one.
Shelters are often the first option for families in need of emergency housing. They provide a safe and temporary place to stay while families work to resolve their eviction cases. Shelters can be communal or private, and they may offer services such as counseling, job training, and child care. Our organization partners with local shelters to provide families with a safe and supportive environment while they work to get back on their feet.
Transitional housing is another option for families facing eviction. These programs provide families with longer-term housing solutions while they work to rebuild their lives. Transitional housing can include apartments, townhomes, or single-family homes. These programs often have strict eligibility requirements, and families may be required to participate in counseling or job training programs as part of their housing agreement.
Rental assistance programs are also available to help families maintain their current housing or find new housing if they are evicted. These programs provide financial assistance to families to cover the cost of rent and utilities. Our organization works with local rental assistance programs to help families access these resources and prevent homelessness.
In addition to emergency housing, our organization also provides legal assistance to families facing eviction. We believe that every family has the right to due process and access to legal representation, regardless of income level. Our team of experienced lawyers provides free legal assistance to families, helping them understand their rights, navigate the eviction process, and resolve their cases as quickly and effectively as possible.
At EvictionFreeMKE, we believe that stable housing is essential to the health and well-being of families and communities. We are committed to providing support and resources to families facing eviction, including emergency housing, legal assistance, and access to other resources such as job training and counseling. Our goal is to prevent homelessness and help families maintain their housing, so they can thrive and succeed in their communities.
