The REALTORS Relief Foundation (RRF) has announced a $500,000 disaster relief grant to aid Texas REALTORS following recent floods in south central Texas. The funds are designated to assist eight local Texas REALTORS Associations and will be available to the public for housing payments as part of ongoing relief and recovery efforts.
“Following the tragic floods in Texas, we at the National Association of REALTORS and the REALTORS Relief Foundation are heartbroken at the lives lost and the communities devastated. We know that the recovery efforts will take time and commitment, and we are working closely with Texas REALTORS and local REALTOR associations to make sure that the $500,000 we are providing goes toward supporting communities in areas affected by the flooding. NAR and RRF stand with Texans today, tomorrow, and in the months and years to come as we rebuild together,” said RRF President Greg Hrabcak.
Since its inception in 2001, RRF has distributed over $50 million in aid to more than 26,000 families across the U.S. The National Association of Realtors covers all administrative costs for RRF, ensuring that all collected funds go directly to disaster relief.
In response to major disasters, RRF mobilizes outreach efforts with support from NAR members. More information about RRF can be found at www.nar.realtor/rrf. Donations can be made by texting RRF4TX25 to 71777.
