The U.S. Department of Veterans' Affairs (VA) issued 726 home loans totaling $209.3 million in Illinois during the third quarter of the fiscal year 2023, according to figures provided by the Veterans' 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, enabling lenders 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.
