Aligned Work
Legal Aid Society of Milwaukee’s Eviction Free MKE program provides full legal representation to prevent eviction and homelessness for families in Milwaukee County courts. It provides for a dignified exit strategy with additional time to move when there are no legal defenses. Additionally, this program hosts a monthly sealing clinic, security deposit and abatement focused work, drop-in clinics, and educational seminars for residents at neighborhood sites.
