But when it was canceled, some mortgage companies demanded all of the back payments be paid quickly, leading to financial problems for those families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.npr.org\/2023\/11\/11\/1211855956\/veterans-va-loans-foreclosure-covid-forbearance\" target=\"_blank\">NPR reported<\/a> that about 6,000 individuals with VA home loans have already entered the foreclosure process as a result of the problems. It is unclear whether Friday\u2019s actions will bring any relief to them.<\/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\/2023\/11\/16\/veteran-suicides-rose-in-2021-despite-increased-prevention-efforts\/\" 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=\"171\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/SuicideSlide1.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\">Veteran suicides rose in 2021 despite increased prevention efforts<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">More than 70,000 veterans died by suicide from 2011 to 2001.<\/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, VA Press Secretary Terrence Hayes said the department will push all mortgage companies to pause foreclosures on VA-guaranteed loans through May 31, 2023. Department leaders will also extend the COVID-19 Refund Modification program through that date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The modification program \u201cwill allow veterans to obtain a zero-interest, deferred-payment loan from VA to cover missed payments and modify their existing VA-guaranteed loan to achieve affordable monthly payments for the duration of this extension,\u201d Hayes said. It was set to expire at the end of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">VA leaders are also launching a new VA Servicing Purchase program in coming months, designed to allow the department to purchase defaulted VA loans from mortgage servicers. That will allow federal officials to modify the loans and directly manage them, with the goal of finding ways to keep veterans from losing their homes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last week, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.banking.senate.gov\/newsroom\/majority\/brown-tester-reed-kaine-urge-va-secretary-to-help-veterans-stay-in-their-homes\" target=\"_blank\">a group of Democratic senators<\/a> praised the new program as an important step in helping veterans, but warned that implementing the program will take time that many financially struggling veterans do not have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cTens of thousands of veterans and service members are left with no viable options to get back on track with payments and save their homes,\u201d the senators wrote in a letter to VA Secretary Denis McDonough. \u201cStories from across the country show that this is already having severe consequences for veterans and their families.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hayes said department assistance efforts have helped about 145,000 veterans avoid foreclosure in the last year. The department typically guarantees more than 1 million home loans annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Veterans in need of housing assistance can visit <a
