The Illinois REALTORS® Relief Foundation (IRRF) has announced a new disaster relief effort, this time to residents of McLean County who suffered widespread damage and power outages after at least six tornadoes swept through the county on April 17.  Three were EF-1 tornadoes that struck the cities of Bloomington and Normal with 100 mph winds that downed trees, power lines and caused extensive damage to homes and vehicles.

The storm victims can apply for up to $500 in mortgage, rental assistance or unreimbursed losses directly related to the disasters (e.g. insurance deductible, home-related not covered by insurance) from IRRF.

Only one application is permitted per household. Get the application at: https://www.illinoisrealtors.org/about/foundations/irrf/

IRRF grants are based on availability of funds and applications are reviewed on a first-come, first-served based. IRRF has awarded hundreds of thousands of dollars over the years to assist disaster victims in Illinois and other states.
