The City of Wichita said its doing its best to work through more than 2,000 backlogged applications for its emergency rental assistance program (WERAP). Dozens of Wichitans have reached out to KAKE News since the program launched in February, weighing in on problems that they were experiencing. One of the most common questions KAKE received revolved around the wait time for assistance. Some Kansans reported waiting anywhere from three months for their funds, to still not having them at all. “I’m not sure how much they’re gonna help with,” said Jorge Garcia of Wichita. “If they’re gonna help with anything.” Many people have echoed Garcia’s comments, stating that even with the CDC’s new extension of the eviction moratorium they’re left feeling helpless.
