House Republicans expand VA home loan eligibility and benefits for veterans.
Sponsor: Rep. Van Orden, Derrick (R-WI)Introduced Mar 3, 2025
✆
In plain English
The VA gains authority to pay lenders money to prevent foreclosure of VA-guaranteed home loans, provided the VA gets a legal claim on the property, and must develop procedures to help veterans avoid foreclosure before taking other actions. The bill also creates a five-year program allowing the VA to purchase a portion of defaulted loans for primary residences and requires the VA to report to Congress on whether veterans face discrimination when hiring real estate agents. Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-WI) sponsored the bill, which became law in July 2025.
