House Our Heroes Act
The House Our Heroes Act expands support for veterans struggling with guaranteed housing loans by allowing the Department of Veterans Affairs to offer educational courses on credit improvement, financial management, and loss mitigation options. Additionally, the bill permits the agency to make partial claims and modify loan terms, such as interest rates and payment schedules, for specific loans that go into default between May 1, 2025, and November 28, 2026. These measures aim to provide more flexible assistance tools to help veterans avoid foreclosure or manage their debts without strictly following previous mandatory procedures.
