VA Launches Efforts to Prevent Foreclosures on Department-Guaranteed Loans for Veterans
Are you a veteran struggling to make your mortgage payments? If so, there’s good news on the horizon. Veterans Affairs leaders are taking steps to help keep veterans in their homes by asking mortgage servicers to pause nearly all foreclosures of department-guaranteed loans through the end of the year.
This move comes just in time for the launch of the new Veterans Affairs Servicing Purchase (VASP) program, which will allow the department to purchase defaulted VA loans from outside mortgage servicers and modify the terms to help financially strapped veterans maintain ownership of their properties. This effort is expected to assist about 40,000 veterans, troops, and family members currently struggling with VA-backed home loans.
While this program is a step in the right direction, there are still concerns about the potential costs and long-term solutions. Conservative lawmakers worry about the financial burden of the program, while VA leaders argue that keeping veterans in their homes will ultimately save more money than providing services to newly homeless veterans.
If you’re a veteran facing housing bill problems, you can contact the VA at 877-827-3702, option 4, or visit the VA home loans website for assistance.
It’s important for veterans to know that there are resources available to help them stay in their homes during difficult times. The VA is committed to supporting veterans and their families, and these new efforts are just one way they are working to make a difference.
