Empowering Veterans to Achieve Homeownership
VA - Veteran Affairs
Home Loans:
VA helps Veterans, Servicemembers, and eligible surviving spouses become homeowners.
As part of our mission to serve you, we provide a home loan guaranty benefit and other housing-related programs to help you buy, build, repair, retain, or adapt a home for your own personal occupancy.
VA Home Loans are provided by private lenders, such as banks and mortgage companies. VA guarantees a portion of the loan, enabling the lender to provide you with more favorable terms.


Who is eligible for a VA Loan?
In order to be eligible for a VA loan, a borrower must be a military veteran who meets certain eligibility requirements. These requirements include:

In general, veterans who served during wartime must have served at least 90 consecutive days of active duty, while veterans who served during peacetime must have served at least 181 days of active duty.
Receiving an honorable discharge from the military. Veterans who were discharged under dishonorable conditions or who were separated from the military for other reasons may not be eligible for a VA loan.
Meeting certain income and credit score requirements.
