Request for Report on the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Guaranteed Home Loan Program

July 2019

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) guaranteed home loan program plays an important role in providing guarantees for veterans and their families who might otherwise find it difficult to obtain a mortgage. To gain better budgetary insight about this program, which tends to perform better than other similar programs, Chairman Yarmuth asked that CBO undertake an analysis of the program.
