Affordable Homes for Veterans Act of 2026
The Affordable Homes for Veterans Act of 2026 requires lenders to process applications for assuming existing VA home loans within 45 calendar days. This bill also mandates that the Department of Veterans Affairs update its guidance to ensure lenders cannot discourage applicants by suggesting longer wait times. Additionally, the law directs the Office of Inspector General to conduct a comprehensive assessment of current processing speeds and denial rates, with a report due to Congress within 18 months. These measures aim to make the process of taking over a veteran's home loan faster and more transparent for potential buyers.
