2) Rental cost due to displacement from the primary residence resulting from the 3/14/24 tornado disaster or;

4) If a home mortgage is paid off, a homeowner can receive up to $625 for repairs.
Other expenses, including insurance, vehicle purchase, or mileage, were ineligible under this program. NAR grant funds were restricted to residents of 11 Ohio counties (See box at right). All grants were made on a case-by-case basis and are served on a first-come, first-served basis.
The Ohio REALTORS Charitable Foundation trustees administered this grant.
