The Colorado Association of Realtors Foundation has started a fund to help homeowners address damages from wildfires burning across the state, according to a news release.

The foundation will provide grants up to $1,500 per household to help Coloradans who “have lost their homes, experienced damage or been displaced,” the news release states. The funding is available on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Qualified applicants include any victims of a wildfire in Colorado this summer, and the funds must go toward monthly mortgage expenses for a primary residence damaged by a wildfire or rental costs due to displacement, according to the foundation.
