Hawai‘i REALTORS Charitable Foundation, the charitable arm of Hawai‘i REALTORS, is offering up to $1,000 grants to help residents affected by flooding and/or other hazards caused by Hurricane/Tropical Storm Lala and Hurricane Lowell.

A total of $200,000 is available, provided by REALTORS Relief Foundation, which offers housing-related assistance to disaster-impacted communities through the generosity of REALTORS, state and local associations as well as industry partners.

The foundation encourages everyone in need of recovery assistance to apply for the funds aimed at helping offset impacts from the two tropical cyclones.

Applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis through Nov. 4, and then reviewed by the foundation.
