THE REALTORS RELIEF Foundation provided $500,000 in disaster relief to support eight local Texas REALTORS associations after floods devastated communities in south central Texas. Funds will assist the public with housing payments as recovery continues.
At least 134 people died in the Texas Hill Country flooding on July 4, according to ABC News.
“Following the tragic floods in Texas, we at the National Association of Realtors and the Realtors Relief Foundation are heartbroken by the lives lost and communities devastated,” said Greg Hrabcak, president of the RRF. “We know recovery will take time and commitment, and we are working closely with Texas Realtors and local Realtor associations to ensure the $500,000 we are providing supports communities affected by the flooding. NAR and RRF stand with Texans today, tomorrow and in the months and years ahead as we rebuild together.”
When a major disaster occurs, RRF mobilizes outreach and seeks support from NAR members and others, NAR said in a statement. It has disbursed more than $50 million to more than 26,000 families in the U.S. and five territories since 2001. The association covers all administrative costs, ensuring 100 percent of donations go directly to disaster relief.

In January, AAHOA and its charitable foundation launched the Hope & Haven: California Wildfire Recovery Initiative to support wildfire-affected communities through room-night donations, fundraising and community engagement.
