The effort was launched to purchase defaulted VA loans from outside mortgage servicers in an effort to allow financially strapped veterans to avoid forfeiture of their homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About 17,000 veterans received <a href=\"https:\/\/www.airforcetimes.com\/news\/your-military\/2025\/03\/06\/what-troops-and-retirees-need-to-know-about-the-va-home-loan-in-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\">home loans<\/a> with lower interest rates through the program, according to VA statistics. But the effort drew sharp criticism from conservative lawmakers on Capitol Hill, who claimed it undermined the existing VA home loans program by providing too much financial aid to a select few veterans.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/veterans\/2025\/04\/04\/va-leaders-to-halt-mortgage-rescue-program-launched-last-year\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"193\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/GettyImages-1649401380.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">VA leaders to halt mortgage rescue program launched last year<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The Veterans Affairs Servicing Purchase program aimed to help financially strapped veterans get lower interest rates and avoid eviction from their homes.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a statement announcing the program changes, department officials said the decision to end VASP enrollment was made \u201cbecause VA is not set up or intended to be a mortgage loan restructuring service.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But in the last two weeks, Democratic lawmakers have attacked VA leaders for the move. A group of 22 congressional lawmakers wrote in a letter to Collins last week that \u201cuntil better policy solutions are in place that provide for stronger underwriting, ending the VASP program abruptly will only harm veterans and their families.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Monday\u2019s letter from the Community Home Lenders of America echoed those concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe VA must elaborate in writing what the VASP deadline actually means,\u201d group leaders wrote. \u201cAs just one example \u2014 if there is key information missing from an existing application VA should give the veteran and their servicer time to cure the fault if the application was submitted on time, rather than just deny the file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is an area needing much more coordination between the VA and servicers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The nonprofit is asking for a 60-day transition deadline for individuals who may qualify for VASP but cannot get their enrollments finished before May 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But in an interview with Military Times on April 9, House Veterans\u2019 Affairs Committee Chairman Mike Bost, R-Ill., praised the decision to end the program and supported quick action on the change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Veterans Home Loan Program has been around for a long time, and it is a golden opportunity for our veterans to get good lending rates for their homes so they can achieve the American dream,\u201d he said \u201cThis program was putting that in danger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo one is going to be forced out, but this is a wise change.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Congressional officials said in the last 10 months, VA officials have purchased more than $5.4 billion worth of home loans through the VASP program, with an average price of $320,000 per loan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the VASP program was launched in May 2024, VA officials estimated that as many as 40,000 veterans could benefit from the financial assistance. Community Home Lenders of America expressed concern that tens of thousands of veterans are still unaware of the potential benefits of the effort to their finances.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VA officials previously announced plans to end the Veterans Affairs Servicing Purchase program May
