A page within Wellness & Health Advocacy
It is difficult to focus on school, work, or studying when your basic needs aren't being met. If you are experiencing hunger or do not have adequate housing, you are not alone. We are here to help.
Housing and COVID-19: On March 27, 2020 Governor Evers issued Executive Order #15, which is a temporary ban on evictions and foreclosures if individuals have difficulty paying rent due to COVID-19.
