The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) issued 404 home loans in Alaska, totaling $155.8 million, during the second quarter of the fiscal year 2024, according to figures provided by the Veterans Affairs Home Loans Index.

In the same quarter of the previous year, Alaska issued 398 home loans, totaling $153.3 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.
