Did You Know? Veterans who are behind on their mortgages due to COVID-19 related hardships could soon have their overdue payments covered by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) under a proposed low-interest loan program. The plan, outlined in the Federal Register, could help about 60,000 veterans who hold VA home loans avoid eviction. The VA is seeking public comments on the plan through January 7, 2021.... Under the proposal, any overdue mortgage payments that the holder of the VA-back mortgage has run up over the last nine months will be paid to the lender by the VA. The veteran will then have to pay back that money to the VA while they continue to make their regular mortgage payments. Those borrows will have up to 10 years to repay any VA funds used for this program, with an up to five year delay before payments kick-in. VA plans to charge 1% interest on the loans.

We have a family in need and asking for help. The mother has an ongoing illness which has prevented her from being able to get her home ready to move into. She has 3 children and they all need to move in next month. All that is needed now is cabinets and floors replaced. She has all the materials but due to illness is not able to complete this. If anyone can help in any way it would be greatly appreciated. Please message the VFW or stop in and let us know if you are able to help in any way possible.
