The VA issued 63 Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loans in Alaska during the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, compared to four loans the previous quarter, according to figures provided by the Veterans Affairs Home Loans Index.

Loans issued in the second quarter of fiscal year 2024 equaled $22.5 million. This is an increase from the $1.8 million issued the previous quarter.

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.

The VA's fiscal year runs from Oct. 1 to Sept. 30.
