The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) issued 486 home loans totaling $188.9 million in Alaska during the first quarter of the fiscal year 2024, according to figures provided by the Veterans Affairs Home Loans Index.

During the first quarter year before, Alaska issued 578 loans equaling $215.3 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.
