Helping Those in Need

The Michigan Realtors® Relief Fund® (“MRRF”) was established to support and expedite the receipt and donation of charitable aid from Michigan Realtors® and supporting organizations in response to the water crisis in the City of Flint in 2016. While the genesis of the MRRF was specific to providing relief in the City of Flint, the MRRF is intended to be ongoing as a 501(c)(3) organization established to provide housing-related assistance to victims of disasters and for other charitable purposes permitted under the Internal Revenue Code.

Mid-Michigan Flooding Crisis

Michigan Realtors®, with assistance from the National Association of REALTORS®, is happy to announce a program to provide housing relief assistance for qualified applicants of Arenac, Midland, Saginaw, Gladwin, and Iosco Counties, Michigan. These funds are in response to the unprecedented Mid-Michigan dam breaches on May 19, 2020.

Thousands of Michiganders have been forced out of their homes and have seen their communities dismantled. Michigan Realtors® has worked quickly to provide relief to those who need assistance with their mortgage payment or monthly rent due to displacement from their home as a result of the Mid-Michigan dam breaches.

This relief will be good for a one-time payment of up to $1,000 per household.The deadline to receive applications is August 1, 2020. Please note that funds will take approximately 4-6 weeks to process.
