VA provides 1,592 home loans in Illinois totaling $429.9 million in Q2

Re 2

The U.S. Department of Veteran’s Affairs (VA) issued 1,592 home loans totaling $429.9 million in Illinois during the second quarter of the fiscal year 2023, according to figures provided by the Veteran’s Affairs Home Loans Index.

The VA assists service members, veterans, and eligible surviving spouses in achieving homeownership through loans provided by banks and mortgage companies.

A portion of the loan is guaranteed by the VA, which allows the lender to provide better rates.

A number of VA housing programs can help members buy, build or repair their homes. Loan types may include Purchase Loans, Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loans (IRRRL), and Adapted Housing Grants, which are geared toward veterans with a service-connected disability.
