Alaska sees a 61.6% decrease in number of VA loans issued from Q2 2022 to Q2 2023

Re 14

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) issued 398 home loans totaling $153.3 million in Alaska during the second quarter of the fiscal year 2023, according to figures provided by the Veterans Affairs Home Loans Index.

In the quarter one year before, Alaska issued 1,036 loans equaling $360.5 million.

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.

Several 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.
