The BRR Board of Directors donated $1,000 to the REALTORS® Relief Foundation (RRF) to help cover housing-related expenses for those caught in the wake of Hurricane Harvey’s devastation in southern Texas and Louisiana.
The tropical storm brought with it 100 mph winds, historic rainfall, and catastrophic flooding — damaging homes and displacing more than a million people.
“REALTORS® support each other and the communities in which we live and work, here at home and across the country,” said Katrina Wehr, 2017 President of Boise Regional REALTORS® and REALTOR® with Keller Williams Realty Boise. “We want to do our part to help those who have been uprooted and have endured the unimaginable.”
BRR is joined by the Intermountain Multiple Listing Service and Idaho REALTORS®, as well as individual REALTORS®, in donating to the REALTORS® Relief Foundation. The overhead costs of running the foundation are covered by the National Association of REALTORS®, so 100 percent of donations go directly to victims of disaster. More information about the RRF is available at nar.realtor.
