Relief for REALTORS® Impacted by Coronavirus
The coronavirus is impacting communities across California, including our REALTOR® family. C.A.R. is here to help, and one of our top priorities is providing the REALTOR® family with guidance on relief efforts available from the federal and state governments, as well as C.A.R.’s own Disaster Relief Fund. Our current resources for REALTOR® Relief are available at https://www.carcovidupdates.org/realtor-relief. C.A.R. is diligently working to create additional resources and will be updating information regarding federal relief once the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) is finalized and passed. In the meantime, C.A.R. will also launch a program through the C.A.R. Disaster Relief Fund to provide grants for members of the REALTOR® family most impacted by the coronavirus. We will share details on the program when it is available. The latest information on all of our efforts and information on the coronavirus will always be available at car.org/coronavirus. We are here for you and will be doing everything we can to help during these precedented times.

Fire Insurance One Sheets
With nearly 500,000 California homes worth a combined $268 billion under serious risk from wildfires, and the issue growing more acute with each passing year, insurance companies are ramping up prices or outright refusing to renew policies in fire-prone areas. Use these materials to keep your customers informed about how to protect their homes, keep their insurance coverage and find new coverage when necessary.
To date, we have raised over $525,000 for those affected by the recent wildfires, due to the tremendous generosity of our REALTOR® family and community members. A heartfelt THANK YOU to the donors listed below who have contributed $250 and above to the C.A.R. Disaster Relief Fund. For a complete list of donors, please click HERE.
