VA Launches Plan To Save Veterans From Losing Homes

VA Launches Plan To Save Veterans From Losing Homes

Summary

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) introduced a new Partial Claim Program to help veterans who are behind on their VA-backed mortgage payments avoid losing their homes. The program offers a three-month trial repayment period, after which the VA will cover overdue payments that veterans can repay later when they sell, refinance, or pay off their loan.

Key Facts

  • The VA created a foreclosure-prevention program called the Partial Claim Program.
  • Veterans struggling to pay their mortgage get a three-month trial to catch up on payments.
  • After the trial, the VA pays the overdue balance, which veterans repay later when possible.
  • Over 10,000 veterans lost homes after a previous relief program ended in May 2025.
  • Around 90,000 veterans were behind on payments or facing foreclosure before the new program.
  • The old relief program helped stabilize loans but ended without a permanent replacement.
  • The Partial Claim Program doesn’t reduce loan balances or give ongoing payment help.
  • Experts warn the program may help only during short-term financial problems, not long-term ones.
