Representatives Eric Swalwell (CA-15) and Ruben Gallego (AZ-7), along with Senator Maggie Hassan (D-NH), today led a bipartisan, bicameral letter to Secretary of Veterans Affairs Denis McDonough asking the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to consider additional flexibilities for the VA Home Loan Guaranty program. âWith COVID-19 only exacerbating the housing crisis, there must be a continued effort to assist veterans with finding permanent housing in this highly competitive market,â the signers wrote. âWith this in mind, we ask that you consider additional flexibilities regarding valuation for the VA Loan Guaranty program, while providing comprehensive education about the program for veteran homebuyers, realtors, and lenders.â
