\u201cHurricane Ian devastated communities across our state and so many people are struggling,\u201d says 2022 Florida Realtors<\/span><\/span>\u00ae President Christina Pappas, vice president of the Keyes Family of Companies in Miami. \u201cThe crucial first step is often dealing with housing needs. Thanks to the National Association of Realtors\u2019 (NAR) Realtors Relief Foundation and their generous donation to help victims of Hurricane Ian, people can find the housing assistance they need to rebuild their homes and their lives.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As a result, Florida Realtors\u00ae now operates two charitable relief programs: Its Disaster Relief Fund<\/a> that focuses on housing challenges within the Realtor family and NAR\u2019s Realtors Relief Foundation fund that offers money to any Floridian impacted by the storms and facing a challenge related to homeownership.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe know that recovering from a disaster takes time,\u201d says Florida Realtors President-Elect G. Mike McGraw, a broker-associate with RE\/MAX Central Realty in Apopka. \u201cNot only are we pleased that this effort will continue into 2023, we appreciate that those suffering from the impact caused by Hurricane Nicole can also seek help through Florida Realtors and the Realtors Relief Foundation grants.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
