HOUSING:WERA - WISCONSIN EMERGENCY RENTAL ASSISTANCE: PROVES UP TO 18 MONTHS OF ASSISTANCE WITH CURRENT OR OVERDUE BILLS TO HELP HOUSEHOLDS THAT HAVE BEEN IMPACTED BY THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC AVOID EVICTION. THE HOUSING AUTHORITY AND NEWCAP, WORKING WITH OTHER COMMUNITY AGENCIES, ASSIST THE FAMILY IN GETTING THESE SERVICES. A UNIQUE FEATURE OF THIS PROGRAM IS THAT WHEN A FAMILY'S EARNED INCOME GOES UP, INSTEAD OF MERELY REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF RENT ASSISTANCE THEY RECIEVE, AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE REDUCTION IN ASSISTANCE IS PLACED IN AN ESCROW SAVINGS ACCOUNT FOR HTE FAMILY. IF AND WHEN THE FAMILY COMPLETES THE PROGRAMS, THEY RECEIVE THE ENTIRE AMOUNT IN THIS ESCROW ACCOUNT, PLUS INTEREST, TO USE AS THEY CHOOSE.
