LAKESHORE CAP WRAP —WISCONSIN RENTAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
Lakeshore CAP recently learned we will be receiving WI Rental Assistance Program (WRAP) funds, resulting from the CARES Act. The purpose of these funds is to help those who were negatively impacted by COVID-19 and are struggling to pay rent or security deposit. The Lakeshore CAP program will provide funding to eligible individuals residing in the Wisconsin counties of Door, Kewaunee, Manitowoc and Sheboygan. We are excited and relieved to have these funds available to eligible residents within our service area.
In general, an applicant must be an adult resident of Wisconsin, with a household income at or below 80% of the county median income in the month of the application or the prior month. For those eligible, the program may provide direct financial assistance for rent owed and/or security deposits.

If you are seeking other forms of rental assistance due to inability to pay as a result of COVID-19 or if you simply are unable to pay your rent and are facing eviction, Lakeshore CAP has a limited amount of assistance available.

HOME TBRA GRANT
Lakeshore CAP is proud to announce we have been awarded a grant for homelessness prevention — the HOME Tenant Based Rental Assistance (TBRA) grant from the State’s Division of Energy, Housing and Community Resources to provide rental assistance to homeless families and individuals in Manitowoc, Door, Kewaunee, & Sheboygan counties. The purpose of TBRA is to allow low-income households the opportunity to afford a decent rental unit in the private housing market.
WHO MAY QUALIFY
Participants must meet the HUD HEARTH definition of homelessness, which means that households are literally homeless and either living in a shelter or a place not meant for human habitation. Each participant will work with a case manager to develop a self-sufficiency plan to reach desired independence. All eligible applicants will receive an assessment and be placed on our Prioritization List. Preference is for those that are considered most vulnerable in our community. Rental units are selected by the participant and must pass a Housing Quality Standards Inspection.
APPLICATIONS
Applications will be accepted on an ongoing basis. There are limited openings. Those who wish to apply may do so in person at any of our offices or call Lakeshore CAP at 920.682.3737 for information. See addresses and hours of operation at the bottom of our website. The application may also be found online at: https://lakeshorecap.org/supportive-housing/
LANDLORD PARTICIPATION
Landlords interested in working with Lakeshore CAP may contact us for additional information.
