A two-year pilot program providing legal assistance and representation for tenants facing eviction in La Crosse County is expected to launch in June. With financial support from the city of La Crosse and La Crosse County, representatives from Legal Action of Wisconsin La Crosse will be available Friday mornings before small claims court to meet with people showing up for eviction cases, no appointment needed. Amanda Schamens, managing attorney with Legal Aid Wisconsin's La Crosse office, hopes the Eviction Defense Program makes tenants more likely to show up for the hearing and avoid a default eviction hearing.
