Missouri REALTORS® Relief Foundation

The Missouri REALTORS® Relief Foundation (MRRF) was established to provide relief primarily in areas in Missouri which suffer natural or man-made caused disasters that result in damages affecting the ability of owners of real estate to enjoy the fruits of the ownership, affects the ability of REALTORS® to practice their trade or in any other way generally affects the usage, enjoyment, or the effectiveness of real estate.

Since 2011, the Relief Foundation has delivered more than $150,000 in funds to REALTORS® both within and outside of Missouri who have been affected by natural disasters.

Request Assistance | Recent St. Louis Area Flooding

In collaboration with the National Association of REALTORS® Relief Fund, Missouri REALTORS®, St. Louis REALTORS®, and St. Charles REALTORS® are proud to make $500,000 in Disaster Relief available to Missourians impacted by the historic flooding that occurred in the St. Louis Region between July 25-28, 2022.

Relief assistance is limited to one month’s mortgage payment, temporary rental cost (not the current lease amount on the damaged property), or reimbursement of paid hotel expenses, up to a maximum of $1,500 per applicant per household. Further details are available on the application, which can be downloaded at the link below.

The qualified applicant must be a full-time Missouri resident and U.S. citizen or legally admitted for residence in the United States.
