Wisconsin Emergency Rental Assistance Program – Help Is Still Available

The Wisconsin Emergency Rental Assistance Program (WERA) provides up to 18 months of assistance with current or overdue bills to help households that have been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic avoid eviction. More than 25,000 Wisconsinites have already received help with rent, utilities, and internet or broadband statewide. Help is still available for eligible households through WISCAP agencies and Energy Services. The program is funded by the Federal Emergency Rental Assistance Program and administered by the Wisconsin Department of Administration.

Thank You, Stephenson National Bank!

Thank you to Stephenson National Bank, for a year-end contribution of $3,000 to Rainbow House!  We are grateful for your continued support of our mission.  The funding will go towards our collaborative partnership with law enforcement.  We will be placing forensic evidence cameras with police departments throughout Marinette County to ensure domestic abusers are held accountable in the criminal justice system.

 

Through this contribution, we are able to provide cameras for collecting forensic evidence in domestic violence cases to local law enforcement throughout Marinette County.  These cameras take RAW images, which can be processed through our new Secure Digital Forensic Imaging software.   Now, previously undetected evidence, such as bruising under the skin, can be used in the prosecution of perpetrators of violence.  Thank you, Stephenson National Bank and Trust, for helping to make our community safer.

Pictured are Marinette County Legal Advocate, Joette Koronkiewicz, presenting a camera to Detective Sergeant Ben Matzke.  Five cameras were acquired through this contribution.  These will be distributed to departments throughout the county, now that they have arrived.  We appreciate SNBT’s ongoing support of our work!
