With federal eviction moratorium set to expire, Milwaukee union calls for extension

WISCONSIN (CBS 58) -- At the end of the month, a lifeline keeping thousands of people in Wisconsin in their homes will end.

The federal eviction moratorium expires Dec. 31.

There was a virtual roundtable Thursday night, Dec. 3, to discuss what's at stake as this housing crisis looms large for so many across the Badger state.

"We are at a crisis here, we really really need to demand what we need to survive, and that's mainly keeping a roof over our head, that's the foundation of America," said Jacquline Clark of the Milwaukee Autonomous Tenants Union.
