The day after the statewide moratorium on evictions and foreclosures ended, landlords filed 144 cases Thursday.
33 eviction filings in Milwaukee County have local officials worried many of those people could be homeless soon. The state is planning to make 25 million dollars available in rent relief and the city of Milwaukee has more than four million.
The problem is that money won’t be available for another few weeks.
Alderman Khalif Rainey of Milwaukee’s 7th District sent a letter to Governor Evers requesting a “modest extension” of the moratorium, but that’s not possible now.
