The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) issued 3,806 home loans in Alabama, totaling $1.2 billion, during the first quarter of the fiscal year 2025, according to figures provided by the Veterans Affairs Home Loans Index.

In the same quarter of the previous year, Alabama issued 2,303 home loans, totaling $688.2 million.

The VA assists service members, veterans and eligible surviving spouses to achieve 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.

Several VA housing programs can help eligible individuals buy, build, or repair their homes. These include Purchase Loans, Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loans (IRRRL), and Adapted Housing Grants, which are designed for veterans with service-connected disabilities.
