EAU CLAIRE COUNTY, Wis. (WEAU) - Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, thousands of households across the state are falling behind on rent and facing eviction. Help is now available with Wisconsin Emergency Rental Assistance (WERA), a federally funded program which will be administered locally by Western Dairyland EOC in Eau Claire, Buffalo, Trempealeau, Jackson and Clark counties.

WERA provides financial assistance for rent, rental arrearages, utility costs, utility arrearages, and wrap-around services. When possible, rental and utility assistance payments will be made directly to the landlord or utility provider on behalf of the tenant. Eligible applicants must:
