Housing advocates hope a new eviction defense program launching in La Crosse County will help keep more people in housing and reduce the number of people experiencing homelessness in the area. The City of La Crosse, La Crosse County and the La Crosse Community Foundation each contributed $60,000 to fund a two-year pilot program at Legal Action of Wisconsin's La Crosse office. Amanda Schamens, managing attorney, said the funding will allow the nonprofit's attorneys to be on site at the county courthouse to provide free legal representation to anyone facing an eviction starting at the end of June.
