Kentucky REALTORS announces additional $100K in flood relief funding

HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – Officials say due to continued severe weather and flooding in April 2025, Kentucky REALTORS is announcing an additional $100,000 in flood relief funding.

Kentucky REALTORS says Kentuckians who have already received funding from the Kentucky REALTORS Relief Foundation in 2025 are ineligible to reapply, as grants are awarded on a per-household basis. Relief assistance is limited to one month of housing expenses up to a maximum of $1,000 per household. Relief funds can be applied toward assistance with mortgage or rental payments, as well as lodging assistance for those who were displaced due to the natural disaster.

Officials say the new $100,000 in relief funding is separate from previous Kentucky REALTORS Relief Foundation grants. This allocation is to help people who were impacted by the flooding beginning on April 2. Eligible residents are encouraged to submit their applications here. The application window is currently open and will close on May 30, at 5 p.m. Eastern Time.

According to Kentucky REALTORS, relief funds from the original $275,000 allocation are still available to assist those who experienced home damage due to the State of Emergency declared by Governor Beshear on February 14. Eligible residents are encouraged to submit their applications here. The application window is currently open and will close on April 30, at 5 p.m. Eastern Time.

“As severe weather and disastrous flooding continue across the state, Kentucky REALTORS® are
dedicated to helping residents in every corner of the Commonwealth who are still in need of
assistance,” said Barb Curtis, President of Kentucky REALTORS. “We want to ensure everyone
gets the relief funding they need to address damage done by recent storms and severe weather
conditions, and that everyone has a safe place to call home.”
