Empowering Communities Through Direct Action
The Tenant Resource Center offers an integrated suite of non-profit housing programs designed to keep individuals and families stably housed. We work directly with tenants, property managers, community partners, and local courts to foster fair, transparent rental practices.
Our core service offerings include:
- Rental Rights Hotlines: Fast, knowledgeable telephone consultations covering Wisconsin administrative rules, local ordinances, and standard lease agreements.
- Eviction Defense & Diversion: Coordinated court-based intervention helping tenants negotiate payment plans, access emergency relief funds, and avoid damaging court records.
- Housing Mediation: Impartial third-party dispute resolution between landlords and tenants to resolve conflicts constructively without litigation.
- Community Workshops & Presentations: Educational seminars for civic groups, high schools, universities, and social service providers on housing rights and fair housing standards.
All counseling services are provided free of charge to Wisconsin residents.
