NAR Housing Relief Fund

As many of you have either heard or read, the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) has established the REALTORS® Housing Relief Fund to help pay the mortgage and rental costs of the families devastated by the terrorist attacks on September 11th in New York, Washington D.C., and Pennsylvania. NAR have kicked the fund off with a $1 million contribution.

"Our hearts and prayers go out to the families of the innocent victims of these terrible acts of terror and to the brave fire, law enforcement and emergency personnel who lost their lives in the line of duty." said NAR President Richard Mendenhall. Mendenhall noted that thousands of families victims who own homes may lack mortgage insurance and might lose their homes without outside assistance. Other victims’ families who rent may not be able to meet future rental costs without help. "Our hope is that none of the families of these victims, who are dealing with a tremendous emotional loss, will also have to suffer the trauma of losing their homes as a result of this terrorist attack."

As of October 9th, nationwide contributions total $5,380,739.00.
