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®, provided housing relief assistance to qualified applicants of Arenac, Midland, Saginaw, Gladwin, and Iosco Counties, Michigan. These funds were in response to the unprecedented Mid-Michigan dam breaches on May 19, 2020.

With thousands of Michiganders forced out of their homes, this initiative offered important assistance with up to $1,000 in housing relief per applicant. More than 125 families benefited from this program.
