What is the VA Home Loan Program?• VA home loans are mortgages guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.

• They were designed to offer long-term financing to eligible American veterans or their spouses to purchase homes.

• VA loans are provided by approved lenders, like New American Funding.

• Since the Department of Veteran Affairs insures VA loans against default, interest rates and terms are better than other mortgage loans.
