REALTORS® Offering $500,000 to Missourians Impacted by Tornadoes

Posted by: St. Louis REALTORS® on Wednesday, April 2, 2025


In collaboration with the National Association of REALTORS® Relief Foundation, the Missouri REALTORS® Relief Foundation is proud to make $500,000 available to Missourians impacted by the tornadoes that swept across much of Missouri between March 14 and 15, 2025. This is a grant program offering financial assistance to qualified applicants towards one of the following options:

1. One month's mortgage expense for the occupied primary residence that was damaged by the Disaster.
2. Temporary rental cost due to displacement from the occupied primary residence resulting from the Disaster.
3. Reimbursement of paid hotel expenses due to displacement from the occupied primary residence resulting from the Disaster.

Grants are limited to a maximum of $1,000 per household. The deadline for grant submission is May 31, 2025. Please note this is for housing assistance only; other expenses are ineligible for reimbursement under this program.

Relief Assistance Application

To provide for a reasonable and equitable distribution of grant funds, assistance will be provided on a first-comefirst-served basis. All grants are contingent upon the availability of funds provided by the National Association of REALTORS® Relief Foundation for this initiative, or additional funds as may be approved by the Missouri REALTORS® Relief Foundation. If approved, grants will be payable to applicants directly via check. We are unable to provide funds via online apps or with cash.

Turnaround time on applications may take 3-4 weeks. PLEASE review the application for the required documentation and supply all required information at the time of submission. If you do not, it will significantly increase the time it takes to process your application and disburse funds. Inquiries may be directed to Missouri REALTORS® at [email protected] or 573-445-8400.

Again, this grant program is for housing assistance only. If you’re seeking additional support or services, please contact the American Red Cross at 1-800-REDCROSS or visit redcross.org/local/missouri.html to find local chapter information. Project Porchlight is an additional resource for those seeking post-disaster financial recovery counseling. Call 877-833-1742 or visit porchlight.org for information.
