Program overview<\/h2>\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n

The VA Home Loan Guaranty program helps eligible Veterans, active-duty personnel, surviving spouses, and members of the Reserves and National Guard purchase, retain, and adapt homes in
recognition of their service to the Nation. VA Home Loans are provided by private lenders, such as banks and mortgage companies and VA guarantees a portion of the loan, enabling the lender to provide more favorable terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
