It is such a rewarding pleasure to serve on the Realtors Relief Foundation Task Force for the Coastal Carolina Association of Realtors. Thousands of dollars have been donated to this fund to help victims of Hurrican Matthew in our area. 
We met last week to review applications from not only realtors whose homes were damaged by Hurricane Matthew, but also members of the general public! After our local approval process, the applications are sent to the National Association of Realtors for final approval.
If you, or someone you know, are a victim who has experienced damage to your residence due to Hurricane Matthew, you may be eligible for assistance.
The REALTORS® Relief Foundation is providing mortgage or rent relief up to $1,000 to those who qualify. Applications are processed on a first come, first served basis.
Assistance is available to qualified applicants towards one of the following options: 1) Monthly mortgage expense for the primary residence that was damaged by Hurricane Matthew or; 2) Rental cost of temporary shelter due to displacement from the primary residence resulting from the storms. Relief assistance is limited to $1,000 per applicant.

Do you know when there will be a response from the national level? I lost my home in the hurricane and tomorrow makes one month since I submitted my application. I was originally told it would take 2 weeks.
I’m so sorry, Jennifer. No, I do not know anything about the response time, but if I find out anything, I’ll certainly let you know.
