Help with Rent and Electric in Southern WI

[Brettsmommy10]

I live in Green County, WI and I am looking to see if there are any programs out there to help me and family with rent and electric. Me and my Fiancé have been laid off from our jobs and have been looking and applying to other jobs, but nothing will hire us. We have a17 month old boy and are about to kicked out of our home and also electric turned off. If anyone knows of anything that we can do that might helps us, please let me know. Thank You.

For help with energy bills, try the Keep Wisconsin Warm Fund (KWWF). The KWWF program was created to help provide energy bill assistance to low income people and other who are struggling. www.esiwi.com/kwwfdefault.htm

For rent help and more utility bill help, call ADVOCAP, Inc. , the community action agency at (920) 922-7760 . They have a homless prevention program, and sometimes access to funds for energy bills. At the least they should be able to refer you to other agencies as well. What is your utility company?

Water can wait. The focus needs to paying your rent. There are agencies in Columbia County Wisconsin that can offer payment plans for utilities, so those are lower priority. However an eviction is more serious and can lead to homelessness. Find the Columbia County assistance programs.
