Iowa Realtors has received a grant from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) that enables the organization to provide relief funds of up to $1,000 for state residents impacted by the severe weather and flooding that occurred on June 28.
Under this grant and in partnership with the Realtors Relief Foundation, Iowa Realtors will provide housing relief to eligible displaced individuals who primarily reside in Jasper, Osceola, Polk, and Story counties. Assistance is available to cover the monthly mortgage expense for the primary residence that was damaged during the storms, as well as rental costs or hotel lodging that were required because of a storm-forced displacement from the primary residence.
All grants are contingent upon the availability of funds, with an application deadline of Oct. 6.
“As Iowans, we know that helping one another is the first line of action when faced with devastation, including when severe weather displaces community members,” Gavin Blair, CEO of Iowa Realtors, said. “We are proud to partner with Realtor Relief Foundation to provide grants to Iowans who suffered displacement due to severe summer storms in Iowa. Iowa Realtors stand behind our communities and are ready to provide support, to help get Iowans back home.”
