Interest Cut to Help Veterans on GI Home Loans

Existing loans remain at their current rate. VA guarantees loans from private lenders for eligible veterans and others. In FY 1976 VA guaranteed about $10 billion in home loans, and since 1944 more than 9.5 million veterans have utilized the program totaling $129 billion.
