Milwaukee Rental Housing Resource Center

In 2020, nine organizations in Milwaukee County formally launched the Milwaukee Rental Housing Resource Center, a one-stop shop for tenants and landlords in need of assistance to maintain or provide stable rental housing. The mission of the Milwaukee Rental Housing Resource Center (MKE RHRC) is to serve as a trusted convener for the rental housing system and to connect people to resources, education, and services that help prevent eviction, regardless of age, family situation, or housing status. The MKE RHRC will exist in both a physical and virtual form, with a physical office located at 728 N. James Lovell Street, Milwaukee, WI 53233, and a website and central telephone hotline to direct people to services. The MKE RHRC resulted from the 2018 Wisconsin Policy Forum Report “No Place Like Home” and the collaborative work of a broader group of stakeholders that formed an Eviction Prevention Task Force and began meeting in 2019 to identify next steps, the first being the formation of a tenant-landlord resource center. The MKE RHRC will also increase access to rental assistance, legal and mediation services, and homeless prevention resources, as well as providing consistent, trusted information on tenant and landlord rights and responsibilities.
