Resources at the RHRC are meant to protect families from one of the worst-case-scenario of housing instability: homelessness. By connecting people at risk of homelessness to housing services, we can offer a point of #stability through which they can address other issues like employment, health, and education. This video features Emily Kenny from Impact Inc., which provides a 24-hour central access point for information and assistance to critical community resources that help people at risk of becoming homeless or those experiencing homelessness.

Federal Eviction Moratorium
You have probably heard about the national Eviction Moratorium. The Moratorium is like a ban, which temporarily stops evictions. The Eviction Moratorium was issued in September 2020 by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and will be in effect through June 30, 2021. However, the ban does not protect all renters and it is not automatic.

Housing Navigation During COVID-19
Relocating into a new rental unit is normally a difficult process, but the COVID-19 pandemic made it even more challenging. In the State of Wisconsin, Commercial Real Estate is an essential business and many rental companies offer apartment tours at this time. When you leave your home to tour a rental unit, please follow these safety recommendations from Milwaukee County: stay 6 feet away from other people, wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds as often as possible, sneeze into your elbow, refrain from shaking hands, and wear a face mask.
